Does the GOP have an economic program? Are there any dots to connect in the GOP program?
nobody with any brains are listening to the repugs because they have been exposed for the lying obstructionists they truly are.
Republicans, how sad, how nothing they seem and act.
I heard his comments earlier today. HE didn't make sense. Just "No, No, No"! More gloom and doom! That's all the Republicans can come up with.
We the people might start listing to the GOP when they come up with a plan. Until then I haven't herd anything from them other than NO! Obama to his credit is trying to reach across party lines and come up with a plan to help all of us but the leader of the GOP just keep say no or that want work if they know what will work beside tax cuts I like to hear it.
P.S. GOP If we don't get right we won't have to worry about our grand kid because it will be all gone.
That's because they are strung together by strands of ego.
Where was all of your critical analysis about tax and spend government when Bush was on vacation and Cheney and Rove were running the country into the ground and the bankers were gambling with our 401Ks? I bet you are sitting pretty on some cash too!
And what is his plan? What is the Republican plan besides tax cuts? If tax cuts work so well, why is the country in the shape it is in. We have spent the past eight years with Republican policies and they have done nothing for the country. All those rich people who were supposed to create jobs with the Bush tax cuts didn't. Why should we expect for them to do it now?
How many dots did former President Bush connect before leaving office? As we were bleeding jobs and home foreclosures, where were all these GOP plans, ideas and suggestions to President Bush before he left office?
If turning off the payroll tax for the next 2 years, as some GOP Senators suggested as simple as turning off a switch, then why was that not done, by the previous administration?
If tax cuts are the way to go, please tell me how many new jobs were created during Bush's 2 terms?
Um... has there been any plan of any kind anywhere in the world that answers all the questions up front? It's an old military saying but no plan survives after the first shot is fired. It will be the same for this plan as well. The needs will change along the way and therefore so will the process as well. This guy wont get all the answers he demands so therefore it must be a bad plan. When he tries to get a loan he should hope the bank has some room for any possible uncertainty. That is why there is such a thing as insurance and collateral.
