Obama would cave in a poker game where he had a royal flush.

7. Lame. Very lame.

I read the article. You might want to do the same. It's thoughtful. Your comments show no thought at all.

3. I frankly believe we need a direct stimulus, not trickle down.

This whole plan seems like doing the same thing and expecting different results. He needs to do something, and compromise might be his only option, but seriously 4000.00 dollars to every household in America would stimulate the economy more than siphoning 475B through the robber barons that bilk all Americans like thieves in the night on these trickle down schemes. Maybe a few nickels roll out of their pockets, or even perhaps a dime, as they stroll down the street with their plundering.

6. Again with the "stimulus is trickle down" meme? Krugman and Howard Dean disagree.

:shrug:

10. Mr Free trade himself and Howard Dean

I personally think 4000 to every household would do more (that is what it costs), but I think a direct work program would be the best stimulus. This is Reaganomics redo ten.

5. Gratuitous Obama attacking again?

What's the point? Is there anything he could do that would get your approval? Anything?

8. Opposed to saying...

I won't sign it because I want to create 2 million jobs not 1 million jobs. Of course he would sign it to create a million jobs. But that still doesn't mean he is negotiating this.

12. Yep. Pass now that which is passably acceptable to the republicans,

and that leaves those least acceptable items lying there with NOTHING to pressure the republicans to pass them.

Anything that does not get through the first cut will never be passed.

It is the passable items which Republicans cannot deny him that can be used to get them to agree on the items less acceptable to them - "We know you know that X is good for you, but if you want it, you must take Y as well."

Pass X first, and they have no reason to even look at Y.

13. unrec for dreck

what a freaking joke, at least you got that right but not pointed in the proper direction.

14. the GOP controls the house, remember?

if they pass ANY of it, he should sign it. it's all he's going to get until 2013.

[madrchsod]
