Yes. Stimulus per se is not a problem. The problem is whether the chosen “stimulus” effectively stimulates the economy!

Duh. Charles, we are all FOR stimulating the economy. Had Obambi proposed something that would actually work to stimulate the economy, we would have been all FOR it. But he didn’t. He threw money down Ratholes and simply called it “Stimulus.” That doesn’t cut it.

If, Charles, you are right that Obama has actually agreed, through extension of the Bush tax cuts, to a “Stimulus” that will effectively stimulate the economy, what in Hell’s Bells is the problem with that?

The Rats could care less about effectively stimulating the economy. They were for “Stimulus,” i.e. Porkulus, precisely because it was porkulus. It had nothing to do with whether or not it actually stimulated the economy.

The Rats are against (Charles’ term) the present “stimulus,” i.e. refusing to raise tax rates, precisely because they have absolute bloodlust for always, under every circumstance, RAISING TAXES. It has nothing to do with whether or not this actually will stimulate the economy.

You can’t blame Rats for not caring that Obambi, supposedly, got a “stimulus” package here. They DON’T care about stimulating the economy, period! They care about increasing government spending and increasing taxes, each of those as stand-alone goals and dreams.

No *we* aren’t.

I am for the government to get its fiscal house in order and leave us the hell alone. I don’t want to be taken care of by Democrats or Republicans.

I don’t need a tax cut or a spending incentive to do the best I can.

I do need the government to get its deficit down to 0.0 so that all I work for and all I plan to give my children isn;t made worthless in a government default.
