Re: Historical Economic Grace Period?

First off the GOP plan was not just tax cuts as explained here on CNN. Second if you look at the first phase of spending in this bill it more about big goverment then creating jobs. Just a small % goes to roads and building stuff. I would go into more detail but I'm pretty busy at work right now. Hey, maybe his plan is already working.

Her is some of the spending and education will not stimulate the ecomomy and thing like that should have their own bill and not part of a stimulas bill.

Much of the $550 billion in spending is divided among these areas: $142 billion for education, $111 billion for health care, $90 billion for infrastructure, $72 billion for aid and benefits, $54 billion for energy, $16 billion for science and technology and $13 billion for housing.
