The economic stimulus package is still under consideration in Congress, and the Republicans are making a big production of their reservations and misgivings and are being generally contrary. Their solution, the standard fall-back position, is more tax cuts. Not exactly innovative thinking. All the tax cuts the Republicans enacted since 2001 didn't keep the country out of the current mess, but tax cuts will solve everything now ?
Considering that Republicans were running the show from 2001 until 2007, I'll continue to blame them for whatever's wrong. In my view, any problems they didn't cause are problems they didn't prevent. So my bottom line is this: Why should we suddenly believe they have anything constructive to offer at this point ? They had their chance, and they blew it.
It's critically important to remember that Republicans have absolutely nothing to gain if the majority of Americans decide Obama's presidency is successful, and everything to lose. At least Limbaugh is honest enough to say he hopes Obama fails right up front.
