Just what would they do?

by: Jason Springer

Sat Feb 14, 2009 at 12:52:51 PM EST



Fred Snowflack asks a great question: (Emphasis Mine)
The stimulus bill is about to become law with no Republican votes in the House and only a handful in the Senate...

No legislation is perfect, but there are a lot of things in the bill that will benefit New Jersey, including tax credits for homebuyers and more Medicaid reimbursement. To the Republicans who voted no, just what would they do?

So our Republican Congressmen made a statement by voting no.  Fantastic.  I hope they feel all warm and fuzzy inside at the stand they made, while people continue to lose their homes and struggle to get by. What would they need in a bill to get them to say yes?  Apparently helping homebuyers, building infrastructure, fixing the AMT tax, lots of tax cuts, and helping the states wasn't enough.

Standard GOP talking points, the usual spending vs stimulus catechism, and some outright deception (he forgets to note that 74% of the money will be spent in 18 months).
