Stimulus does not work.

But, at the same time, I think that there is room for economic stimulus in terms of accelerated depreciation to encourage businesses to invest and to grow and ultimately to hire more people again.

Businesses large and small shouldn't have to check the expiration date of a tax provision to see if it's still good.

At a certain point, you can't tax people beyond a certain level.

Any that is why I think any kind of a stimulus package is going to have to help people who are without work, without a job, help them have health insurance.

Popular as Keynesian fiscal policy may be, many economists are skeptical that it works. They argue that fine-tuning the economy is a virtually impossible task, and that fiscal-stimulus programs are usually too small, and arrive too late, to make a difference.

Raising taxes in an economic downturn is not a good idea.

Well, you know, we've got a lot of stimulus in the economy already from the tax cut, from the lowered interest rates, and also from the refinancing of mortgages.

I think stimulus money is an absolute mistake.

And taking more money out of the private economy and having the government perform as it has poorly done with the stimulus I don't think is the right way to go.
