Do Democrats have any economic ideas that actually spur economic growth? Or do they just count on the Bush tax cuts?
Yes. They have actually embraced "trickle down"-long thought to be Republican "voodoo", in the stimulus bill. But only when monies extracted from the private sector are re-injected there through government entities, never when allowed to remain there to begin with.
"You private sector people, you'll get yours when we spend it. If we spend it. Now that we think about it, since it's temporary, we'd be idiots if we spent it."
