So you said to pretend a tax cut is passed despite filibusters and such. You allege that it would take too long to do any good but I disagree.

You let a tax cut get passed along with cuts in spending...a dream I know...but you let this happen. I’ll bet my next paycheck that the stock market will rise like a rocket the day of passage.

A lot of the economy is psychological, it’s why the worry about consumer confidence and such. Such a reform package would rise confidence of those folk who do all the investing in this country that it’ll perk up things enough to carry us through the almost two years until a more concrete realization of the bill are realized.

The stock market is not the issue. Putting people back to work is. What is your solution to 25% underemployment?

I don't care who get's credit for it, I am just sick to my stomack thinking 25% of my fellow citizens living in that sort of fear and despeation.

So give me some real world serious solutions not "well we cut taxes and spending then everything becomes perfect at some point years from now".

World doesn't work that way. Wishful thinking is not sound policy.
