"Based on preliminary results of this month's IBD/TIPP Poll, Americans would welcome with open arms tax reductions as part of any stimulus plan. Of 568 adults surveyed last Monday through Thursday, 67% favored cutting federal taxes on businesses, 79% favored cuts in individual income taxes and — despite the fact that only half of Americans are investors — 62% even favored cuts in capitals gains taxes."

In my post about the idiotic over-reaction to a New Jersey 10-year-old posing with his new squirrel rifle , Dana Garrett left me this response: One waits, apparently in vain, for you to post the annual rates of children who either shoot themselves or someone else with a gun. But then you Libertarians are notoriously ambivalent to and silent about data and facts and would rather talk abstract principles and fear monger (like the government will confiscate your guns). It doesn't require any degree of subtlety to see why you are data and fact adverse. The facts indicate we have a crisis with gun violence and accidents in the USA, and Libertarians offer nothing credible to address it. Lives, even the lives of children, get sacrificed to the fetishism of liberty. That's intellectual cowardice. OK, Dana, let's talk facts. According to the Children's Defense Fund , which is itself only querying the CDCP data base, fewer than 10 children/teens were killed per year in Delaw

No one can truely get a sense of this 1,600 page bill in less than 24 hours.
What the heck are they thinking?
I was able to e-mail Castle, but couldn't get through to our Senators because I think everyone is downloading the PDF from Pelosi's site. The IT dudes and dudettes must be going wild !
Shirley, nonsense! The essence of this bill has been around for over a week. And the focus of the entire Congress has been on it. It was also published on-line as you yourself noted.
As far as the final changes, the House-Senate resolution conferees know exactly what has changed and have certainly communicated these changes to their party members.

The public and Congress should have plenty of time to study it, analyze it, and weigh-in especially because it is so ginormous and unprecedented.
To spend nearly a trillion dollars with a matter of hours to even just read, much less understand, the detail is absolutely reckless beyond belief.
The Congressional Democrats may as well be running the Politburo.
