Yup, there's been lots of infrastructure neglected. Hopefully, this
stimulus package will kill two birds, get the economy moving again,
and fix our crumbling bridges, and roads.
This stimulus package is nothing but a power grab. The Congress
should be strung up and beaten with a stick until the funds from the
gasoline and diesel taxes are actually spent on the roads instead of
redirected into the general fund.

The stimulus package is not going to get the economy moving again.
You could send everyone a check for $1000 and it wouldn't do anything
to get the economy moving again.

We need a long term solution, something that is going to give
everyone long term confidence that the economy is going to improve.
Eliminate corporate taxes, reduce capital gains taxes and cut
personal income taxes in half but, make sure that everyone who earns
income pays taxes. No individual gets a free ride on taxes. This will
get the economy moving again. The people will have confidence that
they will have more money to spend themselves. Businesses will have
more money to spend on capital equipment and the ability to hire more
people. Investors will be encouraged to move their money into
ventures that may produce greater returns.

The government is the last last place to turn to get the economy
moving due to the fact that they haven't got the foggiest idea of
what to invest in or how to spend money to gain the greatest impact
due to the professional politicians who control the purse strings.

You're as bad as Justhate... always looking to weasel out of paying
your fair share of taxes.

What is "a fair share of taxes?"

Who's supposed to pay for Bushs' adventures in the Middle East?

Who's supposed to pay for Obama's "national health care?"



You're already paing it; we're just not getting it. I don't believe you
will ever figure it out.
