Well good for Obama....why anyone would want to listen to a bunch of wealthy Republican Congressmen sing the same ol' tax cuts, tax cuts and more tax cuts song, is beyond me.
Over the last 30 years this philosophy of cutting taxes for the wealthy has resulted in the greatest redistribution of wealth in the history of our nation....and look at the economic mess we're in....and these Republicans, who apparently have no other answers, want MORE TAX CUTS!!! Do any of these people even remotely have a clue when it comes to the economy? I heard one California Republican argue that tax cuts for the wealthy and large corporations would put people to work, but fixing sidewalks, and building roads wouldn't. Now that is sheer genius!
Clue less...absolutely clue less.
****UP DATE****
The news services are reporting that the Republicans, who had their minds made up that they would vote NO before they even met with Obama, really worked him over during their meeting. Apparently, they feel there's too many "pet projects" and not enough tax cuts in the stimulus plan that the Democrats presented. One genius went so far as to say the ONLY THING this plan would stimulate was greater deficits and greater government spending. Yeah? Isn't the consensus amongst economist that we are going to have to live with some deficits if we are going to turn the economy around? Don't those Republican tax cuts lead to deficits? How do these guys think we'll get out of this recession?
