.. I was going to go and retort.. but why bother, when you are just passing something along and probably haven't noted that the largest single item in the stimulus plan are tax cuts for the middle class...

Always easier to mount unrelated ad hominem attacks than to learn what's really going on.. isn't it.

I find it somewhat strange that you refer to a "chicago way" for the stimulus plan..

I didn't know Pelosi and Reid were from Chicago...

1. I'm happy for you personally that your tax refunds during the Bush years went through the roof.. but I'm surprised that you are happy about it. Somehow, I always assumed that increasing tax credits for kids--which are not offset by tax liabilities--would irritate a conservative like you. I mean, having the government give people money for having kids sounds suspiciously like the phenomenon of "welfare mothers" getting paid to have kids ( ... )

4. As for spending--now's the time to do it if there is any. Cutting spending right in a falling recession is the sure way to make it even worse... Keynes was right in this.. (the flipside of Keynes was that during economic booms, the gov't is supposed to raise taxes and generate surplusses to pay off its debts, but nobody ever seems to want to do that ( ... )
