wow..

"What we're trying to accomplish here is the recognition of the fact than in a recession ..unemployment lags on even well after a recovery takes place."

Holy shit.

"pass the kind of legislation in the past(meaning stimulus) that have grown the economy and gotten ppl back to work"

wow..

govt deficit stimulus spending.."time-tested,proven" way to keep people working..

"we know as an historical fact that even if our economy begins to slowly recover, that unemployment is going to linger on and on until well after that recovery takes place".

Someone needs to make an ad with that..Because this just not only took stimulus spending and deficits out of play, it took the unemployment level out of play as well..

and it really makes the GOP look petty since it was house Dem's who were trying to help Bush with the stimulus.. even if it would have hurt them politically by making things 'better' in the country, thus helping Bush get a 2nd term..
