It's only when you spend what you don't have, or in other words, go into debt. When a CEO spends thousands of dollars to renovate his office people think that's bad, but it's not because the economy is still getting stimulated by money going directly to the employees and business that did the renovation, such as painters, carpenters...etc. Same with a private jet, people think it's bad but people don't realize the maintenance and upkeep on a jet that generates money and jobs for the company that makes and does upkeep on the jets. Politicians want you to believe that any way of spending money other than government spending is bad, but it's completely opposite.<br><b>References : </b><br> Spending isn’t bad in any way.

Roosevelt in the 1930s - massive state investment in public works like power plants and mass transport. Not armaments though - the last time time it happened the result was World War 2.<br><b>References : </b><br> The only way the US and other countries like the UK are going to get out of this mess is with a ‘New Deal’ style programme like that of Franklin D.

What will bring the economy back into line will be people's need for cars & a rebuilding of the auto manufacturers business.Just think of the many, many industries that are shut down due to the fact that cars are not selling.<br><b>References : </b><br> I would be of the opinion that we should spend responsibly & save a certain amount of our money at the same time.

Why would you buy a $500,000 house when you make only $50,000 a year. Yeah bad habits and weak regulation from the government have gotten us into this. Most recessions heal themselves without Government aid, I think the Stimulus is Obama's way of making things better before his next election.<br><b>References : </b><br> I agree with you.

You should do what is best for you - - spend/save according to your personal needs. But you should also advocate the goverment correct for the differences between aggregate savings and aggregate investment though monetary or fiscal policy. The only way around this is for you to take your savings and invest yourself into something that creates real goods in the current period.<br><b>References : </b><br> I think your confusing what you should do and what society should do.

Its poor decision making on the part of CEO's who spend 50k for a charter plane to Hawaii and spend another 100k while there. Poor investment choices, poor management and an increase in the cost of living as well as a loss of confidence in the green back and declines in wall street are to blame. But its not just us. Its the rest of the world too. And before you do thinking we're on the brink of another great depression (with bread lines and 25% or high unemployment) try to keep in mind that you can still go to Wal-Mart and buy a nintendo wii, some avocados and chips for dip. Try going to say Brazil. You can't expect to be able to buy the same luxuries there and if you do, its a lot more expensive. We are in a pickle, one that has the potential to get far worse. But I think buy creating new jobs and investing in alternative sources of energy, we can help to stabilize the situation. In the mean time try not not to believe all the hype and scare mongering on the part of mass media.<br><b>References : </b><br> The financial mess we are seeing now (and world wide) is not simply a product of poor spending from your average consumer.

What you refer to is the paradox of thrift. It is the idea that if people save instead of buying then the people who would make or sell that stuff are now out of a job which hurts the economy. It's bullshit. The people who thought up and/or advance this notion are either being deliberately misleading or just plain stupid. Either way they should be spayed along with the cat. Wealth isn't produced by spending, it's produced through work, and the right kind of work. To do that right kind of work means using tools that could not be acquired unless people saved and invested their wealth. The paradox of thrift assumes that savings go into a black hole, which as evidenced by the real estate bust, sometimes is true. But when that money is invested wisely it is used to create new wealth. The production of that wealth will require labor, so the people that didn't make money selling you some useless trinket now make it building a factory or a hospital. That there is a danger that people won't spend is ridiculous. We all need food, shelter, clothes, etc. People buy, it's when we have no wealth to feed our appetite that spending contracts. Savings, investment, and work does create wealth. Consuming exhausts that wealth. As long as we make more than we take we get richer. As we are finding out now, doing the opposite doesn't last for long.<br><b>References : </b><br> You raise a good point, one that seems to be missed by economists with Nobel prizes.
