Janelle, I appreciate the spirit of your post, but the Obama progressive stimulus was not about reviving, or even saving the economy. It was mostly about rewarding political supporters.

Well, it looks like the Republicans are wasting no time crashing the economy. I guess the good economic news of the past few weeks was too much for them. Time to start up the old wrecking crew. Thanks Republicans.
If we're all concerned about getting this economy going again, then we'd really talk about the rash ineffectiveness, waste of resources, and non-productive work involved in people changing W-4s every couple of months. Surely, no productive enterprise changes its direction every two months.
Investing in america to create jobs, rebuild our crumbling bridges and gridlocked roads is something all americans can appreciate. It was a collasal success under FDR and would be again. The GOP's policy of "give everything to the rich and they'll fix everything" has been proven failed again and again and again.
The GOP forced through 858 billion in new spending to extend the Bush tax cuts for the rich. If they were so successful and were "absolutely necessary for job creation", where's the jobs?
How many times do you need to be told that tax cuts are NOT spending? One would think by now you'd be embarassed for continuing to say the same thing over, and over
I agree with you actually, Trapper. The Bush tax cuts should not be about class warfare. I disagree with Obama's plan to only increase taxes for the "rich" to pre-Bush levels. All taxes, on everyone, should go back to the 1990s level. It would raise a lot of much needed revenue.
No it wouldnt because revenues as a % of GDP is the same now, as the 1990's
Except for the 4 trillion in cuts Obama and the dems proposed but the GOP absolutely refused to cut a penny of their outrageous spending, leading to the nation's credit downgrade.
Let's also not forget the 858 billion to force though the tax cuts to the rich extension.
I agree, someone has to live on another planet if they think the GOP gives a damn in even the slightest about the american people or a balanced budget.
Another lie you keep repeating. Where is this $4T in cuts proposal so we can read it?
I am starting to really hate both McConnell/Boehner and Pelosi/Reid. None of them have any interest in any bipartisan work. It is all about screwing the other side, all the damn time. I think we should throw the whole congressional leadership out and vote in some sensible people who can find some common ground and get something done. I don't doubt the Rs are throwing the people under the bus for partisan advantage, but the Ds do it too. I am tired of the never ending battles about EVERYTHING.
