Why Government Spending Does Not Stimulate Economic Growth: Answering the Critics Heritage.org
Abstract: Despite decades of repeated failure, President Obama and Congress continue to promote the myth that government can spend its way out of recession. Heritage Foundation economic policy expert Brian Riedl dispels the stimulus myth, lays out the evidence that government spending does not end recessions--and presents the evidence for what does end recessions. Hint: It's not another "stimulus package."
Proponents of President Barack Obama's $787 billion stimulus bill continue to insist that the massive government bailout played a decisive role in moving the economy out of the recession. Yet assuming no destructive government actions, the economy's self-correction mechanism was widely expected to move the economy out of recession in 2009 anyway. With a parade of "stimulus" bills the past two years (going back to President George W. Bush's tax rebate in early 2008), it was entirely predictable that some would link the expected end of the recession to whichever stimulus bill happened to come last.

Why is monetary reform so critically important? Because the money power has more impact on citizens day to day lives than the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches. It's really a fourth branch of government - or should be - and leaving it in private hands is dangerous and unacceptable - it negates the balancing of powers principle of our constitution and creates an aristocracy - a plutocracy - the rule by wealth.
A privately controlled money system can nullify hard-won reforms in other areas such as the environment, medical care, or peace initiatives because such concentration of wealth and power will eventually overwhelm and be used against the people to unwind whatever other gains we've achieved. Witness the attack on Roosevelt's social security reform. You can't secure real progress, with the private control of society's money system behind your lines.
What does monetary reform really mean?
It means establishing a fair system that doesn't give special privileges to some and disadvantage to others - that doesn't concentrate wealth and power. It means helping the society create values for living well.
You received a draft of The American Monetary Act, Version 9. Comments are invited in tomorrow's session and by letter. Your views may help shape this initiative. Specialists will also be asked, and good points will be written into Version 10 which will become public inviting comment. Until then its not for further distribution. If you think someone should see it, please ask me to forward a copy.
We're not seeking commitment to this now - we're writing what it would take to legally implement the three-part reform in Chapter 24 of The Lost Science of Money (2002).
