This is the Obama/Limbaugh Bi-Partisan Economic Stimulus Compromise Plan of 2009
(You may remember that Obama said he "didn’t care where the suggestions [to fix the economy] come from, all will be weighted...")
This proposal is dead serious. Here is the plan:
Obama won the election with 54% of the vote, compared to 46% for McCain.
PROPOSED: The US will invest 1 Trillion Dollars (One Thousand Billion Dollars) to end the recession by stimulating the economy.
54% invested Obama’s way: spending - $540 Billion. Obama's way gets the majority of the funds, reflecting the outcome of the election. 46% invested the Republican's way: tax cuts, specifically capital gains cuts and business tax relief, plus other tax payer reductions - $460 Billion
These different approaches will be implemented at the same time and we can measurably compare which plan makes the economy improve the fastest. We won't have all our eggs in one basket and we will know for future reference which approach better stimulates the economy, spending or tax cuts. If a combination of the two works best, great. We will know for sure.
This bill is truly bipartisan and reflects the wishes of *all* the American people, both those who voted for Obama and those who didn't. This is true bi-partisanship. As Obama said, everyone will "have some skin in the game."
Will you support this bi-partisan approach to ending the recession? Talk to your friends and neighbors. Forward this email.
We're all in this together. Let's solve it together.
Brilliant!
No matter what comes out of anyones mouth, the only thing that sticks with me is when Obama said “I won”. with those two words I think the conservatives in this country are in it for the long haul no matter how many phone calls we make to our limp republican representatives. Even if our reps fight for us, they are outnumbered, what can they do? I dont know, maybe someone could let me know if there is anything we can do.
It's Rush's plan, I am a mere conduit.... :-)
Ten to one the arrogant little dweeb dismisses the plan as irrelevant.
You might want to flesh that one out. How do you spend $460 billion by passing tax cuts, business tax relief and tax-payer reductions?
Well thanks for posting Rush’s brilliant plan. I didn’t have a chance to listen to his show today and it was easy to read the way to posted it.
Barack Obama, the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, takes a shot at a private citizen then ignores it? Sounds a bit cowardly to me.
Your description may be apt...
That's what hit me as well. I haven't seen the actual wording of Limbaugh's plan, but he'd have to mean $46 billion in relief; not additional spending.
Hmmm...no pie for the 90 million eligible voters who weren't thrilled with either candidate...
What bill? Who introduced it in the House/Senate?
You people need to stop listening to Rush Limbaugh!
`sarcasm!!!
“Barack Obama, the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, takes a shot at a private citizen then ignores it? Sounds a bit cowardly to me.”
bill clinton did the same thing, didn’t he?
You NEVER hear Republican presidents doing that though... Even when it’s deserved!
I *really* thought I'd proof-read this thoroughly.
Can you please fix this? Thank you very much.
I'm sorry I don't speak Jive. What does that mean?
Love it!
The only leverage that we have is that Bambi and the Dhims know that their massive spending plan won’t do diddly for the economy, and won’t pass it without “bipartisan” support (ie, cover).
They don’t want to go into 2010 having spent umpteen trillion dollars with no results and have the GOP pointing fingers at them.
The Libs will hate it, but they won’t comment on it.
Mentioning "measurable" goals tends to make their heads explode.
