If Democrats don't start airing ads sometime in Sept or (very) early Oct in this (see below) vein, something is wrong with their political people. C]ollecting his positions over the past couple of days, Rep. Boehner wants to: a) end the Recovery Act that has put more than 100,000 Ohioans to work, b) add $37 billion to the deficit by cutting taxes of the wealthiest households, and c) block tax cuts and new lines of credit to middle-class, small businesses. It all sounds kind of familiar, doesn't it? That's because it's precisely the policy prescription that got us into this mess. And it's the last place we want to go back to. Let me get this straight. Republicans are arguing that for the wealthiest Americans -- those making more than $250,000 per year -- it is not enough that they receive a $6,300 tax cut relative to what they paid in the 1990s, they need to maintain the entire bush tax cut. But at a pivotal time in economic recovery, they are refusing to provide necessary assistance to small businesses including zero capital gains, bonus depreciation and a small business lending facility that will help small businesses get the access to credit they need.
