$600B in tax fuck-arounds in the StimBill? Did I hear that right?
MSNBC was just talking about this compromise that passed the Senate last night. It had $522B in tax cuts, $30-something B in tax credits for new home buyers and another$30- or $40B in other tax benefits.

How do the Repubicans get so much power?

HOW?

This is BULLSHIT

2. Harry the fuck Reid needs to go
he's a big phony ass pussy. I had so much hope for he and she, Nancy, you know the one who has the deer caught in the headlights look, at first but that feeling left early on in their tenure. We have much better people for each position and we need to rattle cages until we get someone else in. imo

3. Are You Describing the Repuke Bill or the "negotiated final" Bill?
That can't be right - that is a tax cut bill NOT A STIMULUS bill that you just described.

6. The only hope is to bombard the White House with calls and E-mails.
Obama can refuse to sign more tax cuts for the wealthy. We need a STIMULUS bill.

Tax cuts do NOTHING to stimulate the economy. The past 8 years of tax cuts should have proven that beyond any question. I doubt Obama would sign something that he feels won't be effective at bringing back the economy.

Call...write...Obama today!
