Though I really doubt that either one of these measures will stop the coming recession, I think the democrats are on a better track than the president is (big surprise I know!). That is to say, giving the economy a quick shot in the arm isn't going to be much more than a stop gap. I think the best way to deal with this is to take measures to soften the blow rather than try to prevent it. -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM)  Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!

The article is misleading as it hints that the Democrats do not want any business incentives or tax cuts (which they do). Again, I find this hilarious as they were the ones so adamantly against Bush's original tax cuts.
$800 per person who makes under $80k a year is going to stimulate the economy? In the words of Lewis Black, "yeah, if it were 19 fifty-freaking 6" -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
