Bush is exploring an economic stimulus package to reinforce the U.S. economy. institute economic central planning thus institutionalizing the "free trade" agenda his administration has followed from the outset..

Why not stimulate oil drilling? I know a few sure spots ... ANWR, Destin dome, probably a few more off the coasts.

But I doubt the Dims would go along with it, it’s not in their socialist agenda to help people, improve people’s lives or make America more prosperous, but they are right there with the save the planet nonsense, save us from from freezing.

The good news is when the dims turn down the stimulus package then they own the recession.

A consequence of “free trade” PING

Why would we need a “stimulus package” if our economy was doing so great as we are endlessly told on this forum? Inflation is low, unemployment is low and there’s money a-plenty. Bush must be turning into a protectionist...

Lets see jorge, fuel is nearly 400% higher than when you took office, there's probably 5 million additional illegals sucking up welfare and free housing. Everything I buy costs more, and everything I sell brings less.

You’ve done a bitching job, maybe even out paced your daddy.

An excellent opportunity for across-the-board tax cuts and regulatory relief.

As such, I have no doubt it will be squandered.

Maybe I am reading this wrong. This article has stated that Manufacturing is up.

Manufacturing shrunk yesterday and was the reasong for the dip in the stock market.

Free trade you equate with central planning? What do you equate free markets with, Proletariat?

dude, you really should cut down on the tin foil.

Two weeks ago I had already reserved a spot for it, I was off by a week though...

Sacrifice a Democrat presidential candidate on the South Lawn every week until the economy improves. Failing that, start on the more marginal GOP candidates.

There is a serious problem.
Stimulus is something you can do when there is not a massive historical budget deficit already.

[ex-snook]

End unbalanced trade, Mr. President. We buy goods from you, you buy goods from us.

[RightWhale]

Perhaps the Pres can issue each of us a few shares in Exxon or the New York Yankees. If you own it, then when you gas up you are actually paying yourself. That’s the way it is done.

Sounds like a bad idea to me, even if it included an income tax cut. He ought to drop support for subsidized biofuels, as it appears to be driving up the cost of food. That and reduce corporate income taxes, capital gains taxes.
