Economics 101: Let's take $500 billion out of the economy

[denem]

$383 billion tax from 98% of income earners (the Bush tax brackets)
$120 billion from the unemployed in benefits

Then see what happens.
(Clue- the Recovery Package was $787 billion over two years)

[Vincardog]

1. take it up with the GOP

[denem]

2. They'll just smile as the economy nose dives.

[Vincardog]

3. Plaster that picture allover the 'LIBERAL' media

[denem]

4. Yeah. Play the blame games BUT WHATEVER

it's a $500 million contraction that WILL inflect untold misery on ordinary people, and the most vulnerable.

Maybe we can pin their misery on the GOP. It's still unconscionable.

[Vincardog]

5. That is on top of the millions of death and untold misery their policies have already foisted on the

people. There will be no change until the misery created by their policies is laid at their doorstep.

[denem]

6. So let's make it worse. Crack em over the head

with $500 billion hammers.

[Vincardog]

7. The GOP stops the tax cut for 98% of us. The GOP's policies have forced millions onto the Unemployme

rolls. THE GOP blocks unemployment extensions because they are not paid for because the DEFICIT that THEY CREATED it TOO BIG.
The GOP will only allow a modest extension of the unemployment benefits
they say we can not afford because they are not paid for
IF we cut the rich a tax break of 7 Billion.
And you want to blame US for the problem?

[denem]

8. OK- The GOP does it. It's still a disaster for ordinary folks

and a political disaster as the economy tanks.

A political disaster for the Administration because the buck stops there.
