Tax cuts, baby, tax cuts: House GOP offer their own stimulus.


Politico:

Instead of a tax credit for individuals making $75,000 or less or families making less than $150,000, Republicans would like to reduce the tax rate by 5 percent on those Americans in the lowest tax brackets, from 15 percent to 10 percent and 10 percent to 5 percent.

House Republican Leader John A. Boehner and his no. 2, party Whip Eric Cantor, pitched the plan to Obama during the Friday morning meeting. Boehner tapped Cantor to come up with ideas, and this plan is the result of that work.

Boehner, in remarks on the White House driveway, warned that "government can't solve this problem."

This is to funny. For eight years these same Law Makers gave Bush what ever he wanted and didn't ask a question. As the Recession unfolded and the Stock Market Crashed still these Republicans supported what ever scam Bush gave. Even the bailout money was handed over without one question. Now Bush/Cheney are gone and these same men have ideas. Cantor only wants to be President but he might not get re elected if he keeps pushing Obama's buttons.
