Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) on Sunday said lawmakers should pass a package of tax cuts to stimulate the economy, objecting to Democratic spending proposals and repeating a position of House Republicans.
The conservative senator stated his position on ABC News’ This Week while seated across from House Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank (Mass.), who strongly backed the $819 billion package that passed this week without a single GOP vote.
Many of DeMint’s Senate Republican colleagues are emphasizing the need to come up with a more effective combination of tax cuts and spending, and not cut all spending proposal.
“I think all of us support the fact that we need to do something,” DeMint said. “And all of us believe that the way to move our economy forward and protect jobs is to infuse more money so that consumers have more to spend, businesses have more to invest, buy capital equipment.”
“But there are two ways to do that,” DeMint continued. “One is for the government to take it out of the private sector through taxes and then decide where it's going to go through political manipulation, as they've done in the House. The other is just to leave more money in the private sector for consumers to spend and businesses to invest.”

I never saw a tax cut give us a community organizer. Wait...that might be a good thing! LOL.
DeMint ping!
And a purely rhetorical question....what the h3ll do bridges and public transportation have to do with stimulating the economy and putting people to work?
I appreciate you spelling Congresscritters’ names phonetically.
Or for that matter, giving checks to illegal aliens with "proper" ID cards?
But I have heard of random, wanton, anonymous sex under bridges by consenting males. Does that count?
Sounds like something a troll would do.
Mr. Frank seems to be the great philospher of the stimulus bill, when in fact, his policies kicked off the subprime mess that got us here.
If you are implying I’m a troll, I’m not, but I think the owner of Frank’s gay brothel could be.
Nah. I was referring to the "random, wanton, anonymous sex under bridges by consenting males" part, but I apologize for the confusion.
I am a go on a tax holiday at the very least and or permanent tax cuts.
Franky, where do you think the money is coming from for th e$1+ trillion “stimulus”
Plus, the questions need to be asked of the Google CEO, are you increasing your spending to stimulate your own economy, are you hiring more ppl, OR youre cuting and firing?
You think government should be increasing its spending, so why dont google?
Solution are so simple but the whore on The Hill want control of all the corners and demand their johns (us) to hand out big tips.
There! I just did a $1.5 trillion on the books real stimulus package!
whore=whores
Just waking up....1st cup a joe going down
If your grand plan is the government runs everything, then it makes sense lol
You’ve been screwed by Barney Frank. And we(still) have it all on video.
