[quote who="Daiwa" reply="22" id="1962177"]They're already laying the groundwork to blame Bush for any of BO's failures. For example, despite our economic turmoil, the economy wasn't actually in a recession as traditionally defined, so some economic analysts decided the definition was inadequate & simply redefined it on their own terms, then announced to us that we've been in a recession for a year, which the complicit media simply trumpeted front page as fact.

[quote who="Dr Guy" reply="1" id="1958831"]Ugh! Bad all the way around. The money should not be given to the states. If no tax cut is forthcoming (and the very proposal indicates that at least some on his staff do believe that tax cuts work), use it to pay for the misbegotten bailouts already promised! And dont promise any more! But if you really want a depression, go ahead and soak the rich. That will dry up the capital to create jobs and thereby prol

[quote who="Moderateman" reply="10" id="1956890"]Seems to me the people that support higher taxes on the so called rich, don't have to shell out more money, so higher taxes do not affect them.

Remember when Democracts and Republicans were laughing at Bush looking for weapons of mass destruction under the couch? These guys
