If only very few super rich people owned property that needed sod and other landscaping, they could stimulate the economy.

No tax cuts weren't doing well for the economy - they were creating a frighteningly lopsided situation in which a very few people got super rich while the middle class remained stagnant or slid backwards. And it was more than the housing collapse that got us where we are today.

Actually, the tax cuts were doing well for the ecconomy, in spite of a war and a major natural disaster. The housing collapse is what caused the problem we are in. We need to focus on helping the people, and not necessarily the banks. This stimulus package isn't going to help, just prolong what we are currently in.

But Chat, many economists think the stimulus package doesn't do enough, thus the pissing contest Star references. But since tax cuts-war spending-and-ignoring-the-infrastructure hasn't helped thus far, I'm willing to bet it won't help in the future.

Yes, Stephley. Many economists think that this is worse than doing nothing.

The stimulus bill is just turning into a macho pissing contest. And the thing about the porn interruption is just funny. I bet there were a lot of birds-and-bees talks after the Super Bowl.

"probably make the economy worse?" Worse than doing nothing, or doing too little?

ugh, filibuster. Always sooo productive.

Yeah, the previous stimulus package worked so well, lets just rush this one through and give the younger generations billions of dollars of debt they can never hope to pay back, especially given that this stimulus will probably just make the economy worse. That sounds like a great plan!

Yes please, filibuster the stimulus package. Because the GOP tax cut-war spending-and-ignoring the infrastructure plan has been so swell for us all so far.
