The latest Rasmussen Tracking poll shows that the Democratic majority is barking up the wrong tree when it comes to Spend-a-porkulus, the government "stimulus" plan. According to the poll they want more tax cuts and less spending, because the believe that the spending levels will hurt the economy. They also believe that Tax cuts will get us out of this recession.....

If that’s what they want, then they shouldn’t have voted for Obama. He won, thanks to you America, so he gets to set the agenda.

He won... so he gets to set the agenda.

Well, he has to clear it with Nancy and Harry first. But yes, they rule the roost. And frankly, they no longer care what the people want.

For the biggest part of a quarter century I worked in retail- commercial credit. From consumer advocacy to repossession, I saw it all. When companies in trouble would call for consultation I often told them a little story. Too often common sense had been lost to their ‘new business models’.

A trucker planned to buy watermelons in Texas for $1.00, haul them to New York and resell them for $1.00. After a few months, he realized he wasn’t making any money. So...he took out a loan and bought a bigger truck!

This is exactly what the democrat/Obama ‘stimulus’ plan is. We got in this mess by spending more than we had coming in, by loaning money to people who wouldn’t/couldn’t pay it back. And what is their answer? Borrow a couple trillion dollars so we can do it some more!

I was about to say...The American public overwhelmingly voted Democrat in 2008.

Dn’t tell me now that “most” Americans want tax cuts and less spending, because the BALLOT BOX (The ONLY poll that counts) says that’s a LIE.

[ejonesie22]

And yet they voted in the Democrats.

Americans don't know what they want. The bulk of our fellow citizens are morons.

I want to know why there is not more pressure put on the RAT senators from Red States? For instance,

The two goons from Arkansas
That new RAT from Alaska that got elected because Ted Stevens would not retire.
The guy with the crew cut from Montana
The RAT from Nebraska
The Claire McRatskill from MO
etc.
Not to mention the Bobsey twins from ND

[ejonesie22]

Actually I don't think it's a lie, the public is really that dumb.

That poll is an eye-opener. --62% of U.S. voters want the plan to include more tax cuts and less government spending

3* As Congress debates the economic stimulus plan initially proposed by President Obama, would you like to see the plan include more tax cuts and less government spending, more government spending and less tax cuts, or would you rather see the plan pass pretty much as it is today? <

62% More tax cuts and less government spending
14% More government spending and less tax cuts
20% Pass pretty much as it is today
5% Not sure
