  • Greg Dority. 2010. CharMeckVotes.org: 2010 North Carolina Primary Election Candidate Survey. Responded: "More stimulus money from the federal government will not reduce unemployment but merely accelerate the ongoing deflationary economic collapse. Recent stimulus effectively serves to keep interest rates artificially low. This is a disaster for the middle class because now 'investment' becomes primarily a search for yield. Using less liquid assets and short term borrowing to invest long in search of elusive yields creates imbalances and ever increasing bubbles. Increased leverage in the system through so-called stimulus magnifies risk which ultimately is borne by the middle class. Thus the middle class is wiped out when the bubble collapses and in essence is the only thing 'reduced' by more stimulus 'money,'" to the question: "Do you believe more stimulus money from the federal government will help reduce unemployment? If so, what type of stimulus and how much would you advocate spending?" (charmeckvotes.org)
