C'mon, Karel, where's a new idea?
In a recent Wall Street Journal pieces, Karl Rove claimed that Republicans opposed to the recently-passed stimulus bill offered ideas on how to deal with the current economic malaise. Really? When? Where? Did we all miss something?
Oh, yeah, that’s right, more tax cuts. Unfortunately, tax cuts appear to be sole Republican response to any economic situation. Boom times? Tax cuts. Recession? Tax cuts.
The recurrent cacophony from congressional Republicans sounded like a looped and multi-tracked Marcel Marseau in ‘Silent MovIe’. How many different ways can you say ‘tax Cuts’?
The Republicans, who wrap themselves in anything and everything red-white-and-blue, specialize in a very anti-American sentiment—failure. Too many Republicans appear to want the economy to continue to slide into a depression to allow their party’s candidates to return to office in majority numbers. How sad. Patriotic? If the Republicans were truly supportive of the United States, they would seek success and productivity for Americans no matter who is in office. Guess that idea just hasn’t crossed their mind along with any fresh ideas on dealing with America’s current economic downturn.
