You remind me of a physician who recommends a good leeching, then, when questioned on it, demands to know where the questioner got his medical degree.
Well, there is some evidence that leeching actually works sometimes! Those old doctors were on to something, LOL.
That said, I think this bill was horrific and I’m so glad the GOP was united against it. If the Bush tax cuts expire my family will lose $6000 a year, assuming my husband doesn’t get laid off again (he was from Dec 3rd til today—starts a new job today)!
We need to do something to help businesses (tax cuts) so they can “chill with the layoffs” (as another Freeper said a few days ago).
Layoffs will not help consumers spend more. Quite the contrary! My husband and I literally spent nothing “extra” since Christmas. We simply entered no stores and our credit cards stayed in our wallets.
