Just say No to stimulus package?!!!

I see that Republican leaders in the House have urged their members to say No to the Obama economic stimulus package. But, this is no big surprise. The Republican idea of helping the economy is always to give a big tax break to the rich people. The so-called trickle down effect. But Republican economics have put us in the mess we are in right now. It is time to try something different. I urge everyone to contact their representatives and senators to pass the stimulus package. Average Americans are losing their homes, their jobs, and any hope for the future. We cannot afford to wait any longer.
Our country is headed for the second Great Depression in US history. Coincidentally, the Republicans brought on the first Depression back then. Many people suffered a long while before FDR’s programs slowly began to kick start the economy once again.
Tax cuts for the rich will not stimulate our economy. Even tax cuts for average Americans will not help us, if we do not have a job to put food on the table.

(((Simple, because supply side economics hasn't proven itself to work!)))


Just as stimulus packages have proven to not work.

And we should respect the opinion of a left wing activist group why?

The one thing different between then and now is, back then the US didn't have the foreign competition for manufactured goods like we have today. And we started out with less dept back then compared to now.


I'm afraid it could turn into this:
