Yeah, that plan is fucking nuts. If they're cutting the jobs, what is the point of a bailout?
I thought this was interesting:
GOP US Rep sez Obama too concerned with GOP
The GOP in the house can be ignored. As for the senate, Obama could very well play hardball. Do we need to build bridges in Kentucky. Why do we have military bases in Alabama when they could be Michigan or Maine or New York?
If you look at the state level, you see the same illogic in motion: governors and legislatures bravely cutting where it hurts to move their budgets closer to the balancing point. Absolutely insane. A balanced budget does what exactly? Apparently, it ,agically make all that is wrong right.
