not AA, but the answer is to not let politicians be so damn selective when it comes to giving a crap about the deficit.

we are in a major crisis where the government can help stimulate the economy by giving money directly to unemployed people who will then directly spend it... much like republicans like to talk about the effects of tax cuts. the only difference imo is that the recipients of this stimulus are out of work, not wealthy, and in republican think somehow deserve it because they are "spoiled" by getting unemployment checks.

but the "i got mine" party is blocking any real help for americans in hope of winning seats in november. it's despicable but god forbid we don't add anything to the deficit... unless it means reducing tax cuts to the wealthy or wars.
