“What we’ve got here is a failure to communicate!” “We won!”
I heard John Cronyn (R-Tx) on the floor of the Senate just prior to voting against the stimulus package say “We cannot spend our way into properity.” He was echoing John Stossel of ABC’s 20/20 who wrote a similarly titled column posted on Real Clear Politics. Many other conservative Republicans have repeated those words but none have offered an alternative. Of course this all followed on the heels of Rahm Emanual’s appearance on Meet the Press. Obviously there are two schools of thought.
The American people have spoken when they elected Barack Obama president and sent large numbers of Democrats to Congress. Of course this is a big gamble. Yes there are doubts about whether the stimulus bill will jolt the economy. Republicans had their chance and their ideas did not work. I have lots of misgivings about the Democratic stimulus package. Where are the alternative ideas?
