This one is right out of George W. Bush’s playbook. A $1000.00 rebate to everyone when the United States has a massive trade deficit. As people go out and buy more stuff from Wal-Mart, the rebate makes the economy weaker in the long term. To say I am a little disappointed is fair. I understand that this kind of stuff is good politics but this sadly looks like politics as usual. Proof that dumb ideas come from both sides of the partisan divide.
Of course I understand the panic. The American economy is in serious trouble but wouldn’t fixing the fundamentals be a better idea than another short term stimulus package?
Speaking of Democratic politics, I don’t think John Edwards has read Kicking Ass in Canadian Politics with his continued silence in the face of the National Enquirer story of his "love child".
Since I took a shot at the Dems, let’s make fun of John McCain’s idea that off-shore drilling will lower gas prices. The fact that voters buy shows that while they love American Idol, they don’t like to watch the news.
