Thank you Mr. Obama!!?

I want to personally thank President Obama for proving something significant. Since the "cash for clunkers" program is virtually a tax rebate, anyone who utilizes it gets up to $4500 in taxpayer money. This in turn has sparked the auto industry, some are hiring more workers or bringing back laid off workers, cars are selling, some consumers are spending again, and at least part of the economy improves. Thank you for proving what republicans have been saying for decades, that if you lower taxes, in this case by returning a substantial amount of money to the taxpayers, the economy improves. Any opinions?

    The USA spends 48% of all the military spending in the world. If they put half of that into the economy we would all be better off.

    Kinda mixed up ain't ya? Have you been listening to the rants by the reps over this program?? The reps only want tax cuts for the wealthy; not ordinary people.

    I'm not sure about that. But, at least we have an administration finally that is smart enough to realize what works and what doesn't. And continue the things that work, and stop the things that don't.
