When I see the Democrats with their heads between their legs thinking it is even possible for them to work with the Republicans, and the Republicans acting like they will even consider anything that is presented to them, it is almost like a Clown festival to me. It also makes me think back to after 911 when President George Bush's Administration stated we needed to Stimulate the Economy, which soon turned into Tax Cuts. Basically I think both the Republicans and Democrats know exactly how to Stimulate the Economy, they just can not be honest about it and get it done because they are Politicians. Most economist know that the best way to Stimulate the Economy is to get money into the hands of people that will spend it immediately, which has NOTHING to do with what someone thinks about Tax Policy. As soon as we start talking about Tax Cuts it becomes a Fairness issue and a Class Issue. Then we start to get questions like; Is it fair to give money to people that pay very little in Federal Taxes? Shouldn't the people that pay the most taxes get the most Tax Cuts? Then they start calling each other names and making statments like Socialist, Wealth Re-distribution, etc. The problem with Politicians and the Media bringing up all of this baggage is, the FACT that we are talking about Stimulus NOT TAX Policy.
