House GOP Leader John Boehner on plans for an economic stimulus and working with Barack Obama to craft such a plan:

“Republicans stand ready to work with President-elect Obama and our Democratic counterparts in Congress to enact an economic recovery bill that focuses on tax relief for working families and small businesses, rather than increased spending on government programs and higher taxes. House Republicans have put forth a plan that would do what Americans are asking Washington to do on the economy. President-elect Obama has expressed a desire to govern from the center. In that spirit, I’m hopeful he will give our plan his full consideration as he assembles his economic team – not for our sake, but for the sake of the American people, who are struggling in this economy.”

That is the alternative—it has been the alternative for decades.  It does not necessarily prove to be accurate–but the Repubs keep harping and pushing a tired, lame ass tactic.  We have had 8 years of tax cuts and it did NOTHING to stop the economic meltdown we are experiencing at this time.  But it will now somehow miraculously save the economy.

The only answer I have to his pile of steaming bovine fecal matter is a quote from John Stuart Mills, “I am not saying conservatives are stupid, but most stupid people are conservative”.
