Just sent this out. If it is useful to you, you may use it.
This is the Obama/Limbaugh Bi-Partisan Economic Stimulus Compromise Plan of 2009
(You may remember that Obama said he “didn’t care where the suggestions [to fix the economy] come from, all will be weighted...”)
This proposal is dead serious. Here is the plan:
Obama won the election with 54% of the vote, compared to 46% for McCain.
PROPOSED: The US will invest 1 Trillion Dollars (One Thousand Billion Dollars) to end the recession by stimulating the economy.
54% invested Obama’s way: spending - $540 Billion. Obama’s way gets the majority of the funds, reflecting the outcome of the election.
46% invested the Republican’s way: tax cuts, specifically capital gains cuts and business tax relief, plus other tax payer reductions - $46 Billion
These different approaches will be implemented at the same time and we can measurably compare which plan makes the economy improves the fastest. We won’t have all our eggs in one basket and we will know for future reference which approach better stimulates the economy, spending or tax cuts. If a combination of the two works best, great. We will know for sure.
This bill is truly bipartisan and reflects the wishes of *all* the American people, both those who voted for Obama and those who didn’t. This is true bi-partisanship. As Obama said, everyone will “have some skin in the game.”

We’re all in this together. Let’s solve it together.
I think you mean $460 Billion for the Republican’s way.
