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.

Sorry, but Akbar Torbat is a very respected professor that has published research work in academic journals on trade and financial sanctions and other topics.


Would you like to respond on his piece?

(((It depends on the department because he doesn't actually have a record. That's the whole point of an expungement, it wipes his record clean.

Heard someone say that by the time the stimulus got into the economy at about the time we were coming out of recession, it would trigger inflation. I guess time will tell.
