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.
