Asleep at the wheel, or purposefully off course?

Wall Street Journal: ". . . only 12 cents of every dollar is for something that could plausibly be called stimulus."

The Democratic Congress is not working for you.

Tax cuts before stimulus spending

If we are going to incur more debt, let us do it in a different way. Republicans have offered large scale tax cuts. This would be better than massive itemized spending.

If taxpayers are allowed to keep more of their money, there will be no government control over how American’s spend the money, and that is one reason why liberals don’t like this idea. Liberalism seeks to give more control to the government. True Conservativism desires to give more control to the people.

Even when the government does attempt to control where the money goes (i.e. TARP) it’s still a mess. Millions have been spent in ridiculous ways.

I can not fully understand how our economy works, but quite frankly, I’m not sure politicians in Washington can either.
This mess is not simple, but true conservative principles are. Lower taxes frees individuals to spend and invest, and liberates companies to hire and expand. I believe more money in the hands of taxpayers would help our economy more than the bill President Obama is currently pushing for.

Stimulus Package or spending package?

The estimated cost of this stimulus plan will be over 1 trillion dollars. Much of it will not stimulate the economy. What the bill actually includes is ridiculous.

If our government is going to shell out this much money on various pet projects and socialist spending programs, we would be better off dividing this number by 300 million Americans and giving every U.S. citizen $3,333.33. A household of four would have $13,000. This would “stimulate” the economy and it would happen much faster.

Update: House GOP offers alternative

Obama funds international abortion- with YOUR money

Why are people upset? It makes perfect sense to send our money oversees for "family planning" (i.e. birth control, abortion, etc.) Especially since our economy is booming and we have all this extra money . . . wait . . . let me rethink that.
