Mary; Why in the world do you want to listen to any republican lawmaker wrt the economy I agree what they offered the last 8 years is a complete failure. So why emulate them? The republican offered us out of control spending with really low interest rates .......and ..........now it looks as if the democrats are offering us really low interest rates and really REALLY out of control spending. Mary, I don't disagree with a stimulus plan - only if we do one it needs to be for real meaningful economic stimuli that target jobs. Give the new a guy a chance. I agree. So democrats better put together a plan that people can support. They don't do that they have no one to blame but themselves. steve

Anybody who is not delusional will agree that we are in an economic mess. We are on the precipice of a free falling economy. If you mean "anyone is not delusional" to apply to both sentences than I have to strongly disagree. Isn't it clear that the party of Ronald Reagen, Bush, Bush, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, and Sarah Palin has nothing to offer? No. But lets assume it is. That hardly implies that you would automatically want to do the opposite. The opposite of a bad policy can be another bad policy. Also if you want to do the opposite of what Bush did, you would have to cut spending by a trillion a year.
