While they fiddle around trying to figure out how much money it will take to “save” the economy, they could have slashed corporate and personal taxes and opened lines of credit for businesses back in September, and we probably wouldn’t even need a “stimulus” bill right now.
Yep - take everything out of the bill that doesn’t involve a tax cut and voila! Porkulus becomes Stimulus.
To get that done would have required a conservative congress and a conservative president, we had neither.
