JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

I got this e-mail from my dad the other day, I think it's a popular one.

This analogy makes no sense, because 1) stimulus in a depression is meant to "buy time" until the next true economic boom, so that civil unrest doesn't happen in between the bust and boom, and 2) there is no real expectation that the US will ever pay back all its debt (so the money is free, in that sense).
