So from what I understand, Congressional Republicans believe trickle down tax cuts are good, as are some infrastructure projects (assuming the infrastructure is in your state).

But what other government spending do they believe will create jobs?

I'm not hearing of any credible counter proposals from the Right.

It's either 'Do Nothing' which they can't afford to do, b/c if things continue to slide, they look even worse for anyone who said 'Do Nothing'

OR it's a case of "You're wrong, but we don't know what right is"

In the case of this bill, I believe the Republicans have made the point that doing nothing is better then adding trillions of dollars of debt for no gain.

Again I ask...what part of this bill do you think will fix our economy? How much of it and specifics.....Take your time.....

Now that it's a done deal and we didn't have any input.

Thanks. Or they could just do what Obama and the Democrats promised to do. But why would we expect that.
