75 billion goes to the States - Repuke talking point |
|
Edited on Thu Feb-05-09 07:25 PM by rufus dog
So Graham and all of the other Repub mouth pieces have the daily talking point that 75 billion goes to the States and that isn't stimulus.
Tweety doesn't say a word. But how can a Repub, the supposed defenders of States Rights, argue that 75 billion going back to States, where the people live who pay the taxes, be a non stimulus. Do States paying teachers, police, fireman, fixing roads, etc, not constitute a stimulus?

1. It's all about business |
|
In their minds if the money doesn't create jobs in the private sector, it isn't a stimulus. The End.
They're idiots. That's all there is to it.

I have seen Mayor Villaraigosa from LA on but not one Republican Mayor or Gov. Strange, could the media be suppressing Republican dissent?

3. Isn't that good? Many states are facing budget shortfalls. |
|
Especially California and Florida.

5. Is it good for the State and the people? |

Hell yes, I live in CA and things could get ugly. But Republicans will screw the people to win a battle.

9. My bigger complaint is the media framing |
|
If these jerks were called on the inconsistencies they would be less likely to come on a spout B.S.

10. What a load. I'm working on a document at my state employer |
|
to show exactly how what we stand to get (housing money) will stimulate our state economy. We can create over 1000 jobs with just a small part of it. Idiots.

11. It's called "federal revenue sharing" -and its been a staple of economic policy |
|
in tough times not only in America- but in similarly organized countries abroad (like Canada and Australia) for many, many years.
Until Bush, that is.
