I have a lot of respect for conscientious conservatives and libertarians who stand firm on an issue out of principle. I have zero respect for the current republican party. So after 8 years where they added over 5 trillion dollars to the national debt, and over 32 trillion dollars in future government liabilities, they decide to go all out to block a measure that is 1/3 tax cuts 2/3s spending in what is likely to become officially the worst recession in 70 years? How about McCain using certain programs as talking points and examples of waste in this bill when these programs were actually a part of his own platform during the campaign?

Now, returning to the issue at hand:

Business Cycle Expansions and Contractions

Check the average duration of recessions pre and post the great depression and the appearance of Keynes.
