I would prefer that the government cut corporate taxes and capital gains taxes. I think that would result in economic growth, accompanied by job growth.

However, as McCain (not my favorite guy) has pointed out -- the way the stimulus package is currently being implemented, it just puts cash in the vaults of big corporations. The money is not aimed at producing jobs.

I'm not convinced that we need to spend trillions of dollars which we don't have. But we are doing that -- and we're doing it badly.

That’s a non-starter. Pelosi says its more important to hand out rubbers and food stamps.

Exactly! The TARP was sold as a way to keep credit flowing and keep the jobs going by businesses being able to keep lines of credit.

We see that they just used the money to keep themselves afloat for a while longer and not much credit is flowing out of the banks our taxes kept going.
