The people's economic stimulus package: end the occupation of Iraq

by: Jay Stevens

Mon Feb 11, 2008 at 17:22:45 PM MST


Here's an interesting idea for an "economic stimulus" package:

The heck with Congress' big stimulus bill. The way to get the country out of recession -- and most people think we're in one -- is to get the country out of Iraq, according to an Associated Press-Ipsos poll.

Pulling out of the war ranked first among proposed remedies in the survey, followed by spending more on domestic programs, cutting taxes and, at the bottom end, giving rebates to poor people in hopes they'll spend the economy into recovery.

Another interesting aspect about this poll is that "cutting taxes" came in third among polled Americans as best solution to the current economic mess. First was pulling out of Iraq, at 48 percent; second was "increasing government spending on health care, education and housing programs," at 43 percent; third was "cutting taxes," at 36 percent.

Just a poll, folks, move along. Nothing to see here. I'm not listening, LA LA LA...

Hell... (0.00 / 0)
when you poll people who don't pay any taxes what do you expect?

Any bets on just how fast we leave Iraq if the democrats win the presidency?

And Jeb, increasing taxes increases the competency of public servants??? Just more of them added to the payroll to screw things up.


Read, process, then respond. Try it sometime you might like it. (0.00 / 0)
He said the public services, NOT servants which is a huge difference when discussing funding and efficacy.

If they polled "people who don't pay any taxes" I would not expect

at the bottom end, giving rebates to poor people in hopes they'll spend the economy into recovery.

As far as my bets on getting out of Iraq depends on which democrat you think is going to win the primary.
