Public Support for Economic Recovery Plan Slips to 42%

Forty-two percent (42%) of the nation’s likely voters now support the president’s plan, roughly one-third of which is tax cuts with the rest new government spending.

Continue to slide as long as folks depend on filters instead of reading the legislation itself. If the ever abundance of ignorance about the legislation is only a fraction of the what I've read on these boards....

It should be a LOT lower than this and will be once the people know what a dud the House package was.

The stimulus package will be much better than the House version as it will incorporate a mix of tax cuts and spending.

If you like high taxes and wasteful spending, it's good that you live in California!

Said it before and I'll say it again.
Take the pork out, leave the pork out and make it valid legeslation.
50 mill for the arts is hardly about helping the economy. Buying new gov cars is not about the economy. Nor are the many other pork projects attached to it. We have a system in place to get these other things approved .
I am fine with the global warming measures to a point. The point to invest in developing green technologies.
How much to redo the mall at the white house again? This is a pork package at best.

Define pork. To give you an idea... redoing the mall isn't pork. It will create jobs. Don't agree with me? No... angels aren't going to descend to get it done. Do you even know what redoing involves?

It appears to me that misinformation from right wing propaganda machine is succeeding. And that anything and everything that isn't tax cut is pork.

Exactly; Jobs are temporary. Jobs are something you do in high school or college to stay afloat, jobs do not last. What we need are careers, something more permanent, NOT something to get approval ratings up or to reward your friends for helping you get elected.
