I just disagree on how much balls the Dems have. Obama calls these welfare payments tax cuts. That’s the party line, and they will stick to it - the economy be damned.

One interesting thing I’ve noticed this week….with Bush (and most all other Republicans) gone, it’s harder for Democrats to defend bad policies. There are more people then I would have thought out there, who really do know what is going on. For the past 8 years, if Bush as for something, they were against it. If Bush opposed something, they were for it.

Now that the whole show is run by Democrats, people are starting to have second thoughts about really bad policies. Now they have a stake in it, other then just attacking Bush.
