But okay, have it your way. And if that doesn't work, then what? I'm just not convinced that tax cuts are the only solution. My gut feeling is that this is "conventional" wisdom and I think we need new thinking.
Experts have said that this situation is not like ANY other situtaion we have had since the 1930's and does not resemble any other recession that we have had in recent history. So I'm not at all sure that doing what we've always done is going to solve the problem.

I'm not in favor of any particular plan at this point. I'm digusted with Congress yet again holding hearings with bank executives to beat them up about bonus and how they used the money. What a waste of time. It's done. Why didn't Congress take the time to build better parameters for use of the money instead of spending their time with their faces in front of the cameras when they had the chance?
And I think the country would be better served if Obama stayed in Washington and worked his charms on bringing together a bipartisan bill instead of traveling around being folksy. I no longer am interested in hearing what either he or Congress INTENDs to do. Just do it.
And as disgusted I am by Pelosi and company, I'm equally disgusted by the Republicans who are just folding arms and not trying to get anything done. It's all just politics as usual.
