Poor babies eh-? No amount of tax cuts is going to make businesses bring back outsourced jobs to America as long as it's cheaper to do things elsewhere.
Patriotic duty to ones own people apparently means very little in the world of high finance. ________________________________ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, February 15, 2009 4:38:56 PM Subject: {Dawgs/Dittos} Mr. Economy <snip> Republican senators who took the floor during the week's debate on the stimulus bill vented a near-hysterical opposition to any increase in government spending to alleviate the impact of the economic crisis on millions of working people. John McCain of Arizona, the defeated Republican presidential candidate, spoke Friday to argue that the private sector, not the federal government, should be the basis of economic recovery. "It's the reason we don't have socialism in this country," he declared. McCain offered a substitute bill that would have eliminated every penny of increased spending for unemployment compensation, health care and cash support to near-bankrupt state governments, in favor of $445 billion in tax cuts, much of which would go to the wealthy. Another right-wing Republican, James DeMint of South Carolina, proposed an amendment that would extend indefinitely the 2001 Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, now set to expire at the end of 2010. http://www.wsws.org/articles/2009/feb2009/sena-f07.shtml --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WebTV Dawgs/Dittos" group.
