Have any of the Republican candidates offered up an economic stimulus plan?
Personally, I think there needs to be next to nothing done to "stimulate" the economy. It would be throwing good money after bad, only leaving a bigger hole after the fact because it's not going to help.

4. My thought, exactly.
But I'm sure they can find some justification for cutting taxes again.

8. Makes ya wonder why the Dems aren't jumping all over this two-faced GOP meme.
From one side, they say the economy is great, sound fundamentals.

From the other side, they say the tax cuts need to be made permanent and a tax rebate/credit needs to be issued immediately to encourage *gasp* more spending.

9. The Economy/Recession will be THE issue this Summer/Fall.
And the Dems will do well on it.

5. Why Do We Need an Economic Stimulus Plan?
The economy is booming. We need more tax breaks for the wealthy! :sarcasm:
