- Does increased Federal spending help or hurt the economy? 35% Help, 48% Hurt
- Does a decrease Federal spending help or hurt? 45% Help,29% Hurt
- Do you want more tax cuts or more spending? 62% More tax cuts, 14% More spending
Will this matter in Washington? I say - NO!.
The stimulus package is nothing more than 10 years of pent-up Liberal spending urges. It is rolled together in one, big, disgusting package. The Libs are using the so-called 'crisis' in the economy as political cover. They figure that if we are afraid enough, we will accept anything. They are wrong. We are not THAT afraid.
If we wait 6-9 months, and the government did NOTHING, this recession would start to turn around on it own.
But, the Dems are not likely to let this crisis go by without fully exploiting it. It is sad.
But, we elected these idiots - and gave them a new Idiot in Chief to sign off on their nonsense. So, we are about to get what we asked for, and so richly deserve.
Heaven help us.

I was really sad after watching the news today, but I caught an interview on Glenn Beck that made me feel a little better (not a lot, but a little.) The author of New Deal or Raw Deal was explaining that, during the depression, many companies joined the NRA (National Recovery Association) and had to charge certain prices for their products. People were actually arrested for giving discounts to their customers during this time. I don't know how wide-spread this association was, but apparently, GM joined and Ford did not- now they both want bailout money. Anyway, the guy's point was that it's never good to see private industry in bed with the government (DUH!) But I felt a little better because we DID survive that as a nation. The only problem, the author said, is that conditions are NOTHING like they were before the depression, so you can't even use it as a model to predict how long this might last. What kills me is that all these "experts" graduated from Ivy League schools, where they apparently teach that socialism is the progressive future of America... sad, sad, sad.
