So how it works is… the Democrats win and use our money to pay for all the pet projects they’ve wanted money for from the last 4 years or so. That’s all this is. Incredible. They’ll just keep wanting more and more of our money – money we can’t spend to help create jobs with how the market should naturally work.

It’s just the same old song:

Same Old Song (sensenbrenner.house.gov)

We’ve heard this tune before. Today, the House of Representatives voted on an $825 billion dollar economic stimulus package, described as legislation that will create jobs and stimulate the economy.

… My constituents have been very clear in their calls to me urging me to vote against this sham of a stimulus bill, which has managed to sneak in earmarks for activities not related to job creation. A notable example includes the sum of $335 million for sexually transmitted disease education and prevention programs at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – this is not the kind of stimulation that will help our economy.

… Finally, we have to ask where this money is coming from. At some point, our creditors — including countries like China and foreign organizations like OPEC — may call in our debts. When that happens, we’re going to have to cough up the dough, and if we don’t have it, our taxes will soar to prevent a total government shutdown. I’d prefer to bring an end to these wasteful spending bills to keep the fat lady from singing.

Right on, Congressman Sensenbrenner!

Cut taxes, please! Let the American people and small / medium / large business do it – like we’ve always done. Cur corporate taxes and Capital Gains taxes. Give us a 2 month tax holiday. That’s a much cheaper alternative…

Oh wait, then the Democrats won’t get all their pet projects funded… so that won’t work.

If their true motives were to help the American people, they’d put this crap aside, roll up their sleeves and save this country. That ain’t happening. Republicans, please stand up! Fight for us!

The govenment doesn’t fix recessions. If it could fix them, we wouldn’t have any.

Obama wants to spend money for fixing roads or something. For the amount of jobs he wants to make, each job will cost over $300,000. So will there be a profit on the person doing that job? No. That’s no plan.

We need taxes cut. Give everyone (let me clarify – every tax payer – no people that do not pay taxes) a tax holiday for 6 months. Everyone gets an instant boost. People will get a 20-30% or more pay raise. Imagine that – more buying power out there. This will cost less than a stimulus plan and do more.

The Democrats would never do this because if this happened, after that 6 months people would realize how much of their paycheck goes the to Federal Goverment and demand lower taxes. This is totally against how they operate, so I’m dreaming.
