$550 billion is $550 billion regardless of whether one person getting all of it or 250 million getting $2,000 ... your argument that putting all the money in the hands of a few is somehow better just doesn't make sense. Your argument that our choice is between a GOP plan that puts all the money in the hands of one or a few and a Dem plan that spreads it out to everyone is not supported by the facts of the plans. The GOP plan cuts marginal rates across the board to create both long-term and short-term stimulative effects. The Dems want a temporary break to put a small amount of money into the emptiest pockets to stimulate spending now. History shows the latter approach just doesn't work. For more on this, pick up today's WSJ and open to the opinion page. Bob
