From their actual websites...

Doing research for work, I am looking at various candidates economic stimulus plans.  Now, I freely admit, I don't really understand the economy.  I got a D in economics.  But just take a look at the plans as laid out by their own websites (literally cut and pasted, I have not paraphrased at all):

Hillary:
  • Establish a $30 Billion Emergency Housing Crisis Fund to assist states and cities mitigate the effects of mounting foreclosures
  • Take bold action to stem tide of foreclosure, including a 90-day moratorium on subprime foreclosures and an automatic rate freeze on subprime mortgages of at least five years
  • Provide $25 billion in emergency energy assistance for families facing skyrocketing heating bills
  • Accelerating $5 billion in energy efficiency and alternative energy investments to jumpstart green collar job growth:
  • Invest $10 billion in extending and broadening unemployment insurance for those who are struggling to find work:
Obama:

* Provide an immediate $250 tax cut for workers and their families.
* Provide an immediate, temporary $250 bonus to seniors in their Social Security checks.
* Provide an additional $250 tax cut to workers and an additional $250 to seniors if the economy continues to worsen
* Provide relief to homeowners hit by the housing crisis.
* Provide aid to states hardest-hit by the housing crisis to avoid a slash in services.
* Extend and expand Unemployment Insurance.

Huckabee:

Family, Fed, Fight, Fuel, Fair

............

Well, I'm filled with confidence in Huckabee's plan, what with all those details he includes...

rants, politics, stupid people
