Obama is pushing for stimulus in 'fiscal cliff' dealIt's exactly like the original $787 billion 'stimulus' that was almost $300 billion in TAX CUTS and another $60 billion in unemployment insurance but of course, that didn't fit the phony teabaggers' outrage even when all of them got their tax cut and a lot of them galdly sucked up the extended unemployment checks after being laid off by George W. Bush.
But President Obama’s first offer to avoid going over the "fiscal cliff" holds out the hope of at least some stimulus. This would include extending the 2 percentage point Social Security payroll tax cut, boosting a tax incentive to businesses, establishing a $50 billion bank for long-term infrastructure projects, and extending unemployment benefits.
The first 'stimulus' worked pretty well in pulling us out of the GW Bush Great Recession until 2010 when the teabagging congressmen came along. So once we get the rest of that stink out of our government, we should be able to continue our recovery.
