GOP Votes Against Stimulus Plan
by Michael
Every Republican member of the House voted against Obama's stimulus plan. So what happens if the plan passes the Senate, is implemented, and is successful? What will they tell their constituents when they are up for re-election?
The GOP still doesn't get that they lost the election. They didn't just lose the White House, but they lost ground in both Houses of Congress. They lost because they keep beating the same dead horse; lower taxes for the rich, and the economy will improve. Well I've got news for you morons, the money can't trickle down when there's a big plug in the drain.
We gave all this money to banks so that they would have the liquidity to ease the credit crunch. Instead of greasing the wheels of the economy, the banks have chosen to grease the palms of their senior executives.
For example, the former CEO of Merrill Lynch approved billions in bonuses to executives just before they became insolvent. His justification was that the bonuses were necessary to keep those execs from going elsewhere. My question is; where else were they going to go? From one sinking ship to another?
Now the right-wing is extolling the virtues of Rush Limbaugh and his ilk as the visionaries of their ideology. You know you're party is in trouble when policy is guided by a media hack drug abuser.
