How do you spend $460 billion by passing tax cuts, business tax relief and tax-payer reductions? 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.

I listened today and that is the way it sounded, as if he meant 460 billion in tax cuts. Actually I would rather see the tax cuts done seperately, say the second two years, and see how things play out. I don't think you could do both and see a separate results from each. Spend us into poverty the first two years and cut taxes to the bone the second two years and see which two years has the greatest impact, in a good way.

However, I do believe Rush was simply making a point. The dems don't want to be bi-partisan, they want it all their way. The dems ideas of bi-partisan is that a republican gets to sit in on a meeting about the economy and Bozo's idea of bi-partisan is that republicans shut up and agree to his plan.

Rush was saying if they wanted a real bi-partisan effort then they would have to allow republican ideas also and threw this plan out as an example.

This sounds very smart to me, and a bit more workable perhaps than a parallel implementation.
