Don't underestimate the effect of all those tax refund checks getting spent. I think it will help and along with the interest rate cuts, things should be perking up in about 6 months or so, maybe a little longer... JLA

You know don't you that the estate tax was killed for one year only? And that what is gained by higher estate tax exemptions is lost to cap gain's taxes. So again Republicans accomplished NOTHING but gave democrats ammunition to use in the class warfare battle. Stupid stupid stupid.

<<The economic stimulus thing was a crock, yes. If that had been the intention, the big cuts would be NOW, when they are needed, rather than a decade from now. >> That was the original idea, then Congress got a hold of it. He signed the bastardized cut rather than having no cut at all.
