And what alternative does the left provide ofr stimulating the economy they just so happened to ruin? So far only a smaller version of Bush's tax plan. Here is a President telling the people that they are going to be getting larger tax breaks so the people, not the government, can keep more of their money and the left is saying we are only going to give you about 1/2 of what President Bush wants.
Wait wait, who ruined the economy? Last I checked, under a democratic presidency we had 8 straight years of
RECORD economic growth.
Tax cuts don't stimulate the economy at a time when Americans are uncertain of the market. It isn't that they don't have the money to spend... they are too scared to spend it! Giving them money will not magically restore their faith in investment.
