As congress debates the economic stimulus package, Day after day Americans are losing their jobs, losing their homes and losing in some cases 20 years of work and savings down the drain, from no fault of their own. If we remember there was an election and the GOP lost. Why did they lose so bad you may ask?

It is simple the GOP economic policies and Tax cuts for the rich, along with deregulation of finical markets have all but destroyed any confidence the people of America once had in there government and economic policies. Ask Elton Gallegly what he is planning to do about this huge crisis facing Americans. 1) He will vote no on any bill that would stimulate the economy 2) He only after the fact, induces the same old tired ideas that do not work, and what has put us in the crisis we find out selves today.

It is time to wake up Elton Gallegly You and your parties tired ideas have failed they have failed, they have failed. What world do Gallegly and the GOP live in? Wikipedia defines Stimulus as: The two main instruments of fiscal policy are government spending and taxation? And the definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and with the expatiation a different out come.

The failed fiscal policy of Reagan taxation is wrong and does not work, we need new ideas, the government needs to spend to create jobs so people can go back to work and pay taxes. The privet sector and finical markets have their hands tied. Government spending is not only the Answer, and frankly is the only solution we have left.
