General Electric Media reporting: Bush about to unveil plan to "lift economy."
Uh, wait a minute...the economy is GREAT! He says so every fucking week. Bernake said "no recession." Everything coming up roses, or so we've been told by lying scumbag administration. So what needs "lifting," Mr. Bush?

We all know what's coming...Bush's "idea" will be to simply give he and his buddies more tax cuts, and then make 'em permanent. He's such a visionary, after all.

3. Let me guess--Tax cuts for the wealthy
And a $100 tax rebate for everyone else.

5. Enough for the average Joe to get an extra cup of coffee each week
While the top 10%ers get enough to buy an extra house each week.

4. Uhhhh....no thanks, George.
Is he going to "lift up" the economy, the same way that he "liberated" Iraq?

Uhhhh...gee. Thanks, but no thanks.

10. Hasn't Bush* been "lifting the economy" for the last seven years?
What this economy needs is more tax cuts for the "have mores" and less bitching by the peons....:sarcasm:

12. apparently
the plan is to spend 150 billion in a quick economic package targeting middle, low income people (because they spend money faster). The only question I have is... where does the money come from. Over spending is the root driver of this "down turn" so won't more over spending just feed the drop in the dollar and rise in inflation?

13. Where is the money coming from? It should come from bu$h's base,
THE HAVES AND HAVE MORES

I won't hold my breath, waiting for that too happen, however.
