Isaiah 42: 5-7—Thus says God, Yahweh, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and its offspring, who gives breath to the people on it and spirit to those who walk in it, “I am Yahweh, I have called You in righteousness, I will also hold You by the hand and watch over You, and I will appoint You as a covenant to the people, as a light to the nations, to open blind eyes, to bring out prisoners from the dungeon and those who dwell in darkness from the prison.” SnyderTalk Commentary: This is about our Messiah. HalleluYah!

Shalu shalom Yerushalayim: Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. (Psalm 122: 6)

SnyderTalk Editorial: The Economy is a mess, and the president wants more stimulus money.  What should we do about it?


The latest data on the economic front doesn’t look good, and that’s putting it mildly.  Economic growth during the second quarter was revised downward from 2.4% to an anemic 1.6% by the Commerce Department.  At that rate of growth, there are not enough jobs being created in the United States to employ new entrants into the job market.  The economy needs to grow at a 3% annual rate just to maintain the status quo.

The unemployment rate in the US is about 9.5% and rising.  That’s a terrible sign for the economy because the economic effects of federal stimulus spending are fading fast.  A surge in imports during the second quarter is more troubling news.  Import growth during the second quarter was the largest jump in 26 years.  That tells us people are buying, but they’re being frugal.  You can’t blame them.  They’re trying to get the biggest bang for their bucks that they can find.

Suppose your best friend asked you for a $1000 loan so he could make his mortgage payment and avoid foreclosure on his home.  Within a few days, he comes to you again asking for another $1000 loan to avoid imminent foreclosure.  Being a prudent investor, you ask him what he did with the money you just loaned him.  He tells you that he was on his way to the bank to make the payment, and he stopped at Wal-Mart to buy some groceries.  Then he tells you that Wal-Mart had an eye-popping sale on HDTVs so he bought one with the money you gave him.

Would you loan your best friend another $1000 at that point?  Hopefully not.  That’s what’s happening now with the US economy.  President Obama wanted more than a trillion dollars for stimulus spending to avoid economic catastrophe, and we gave it to him.  Rather than investing it in ways that produce stimulative effects, he used it to pay off people and groups that supported his candidacy in 2008.  Now he wants us to give him more stimulus money.  Will we do it?  Maybe with the current Congress, but after November 2010, probably not.

We have already spent more than enough money to stimulate the economy, but it’s been wasted.  The economic data being released now and the unemployment statistics tell us clearly that our president gambled with our money and lost.  What should we do about it?  Let’s start by cleaning up the cesspool that our Congress has become.  Next, let’s put serious restrictions on any funds we appropriate so the president can’t continue paying off his friends with our money.  Finally, let’s show the president the door in 2012.

That raises another question.  Who should we elect in 2012?  I can think of two possibilities—Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey and Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin.  In fact, I think they would make a great team.  These two men have experience and good sense.  More than that, they are not glory hounds who are just seeking the spotlight.  We can’t afford to gamble in 2012.  There will be a host of candidates to choose from in 2012, but these two men stand out in my mind as being especially well-qualified.
