Everyone slams me when I try to explain how it doesn't make sense to spend loads of borrowed money to get out of a recession..... Thank goodness someone else sees the faulty logic in this current economic plan Thanks so much for posting this….

Who (besides me) wants people knocking on their door to talk about a Congressional Budget proposal?

And that's not even mentioning the substance of the proposal, which is not particularly inspired. Don,

McClarey Wed, 25 Mar 2009 13:00:45 +0000 http://the-american-catholic.com/?p=6433#comment-1693 I think this is poor political strategy. Americans, at least most normal Americans (I rather enjoy politics) hate political campaigns, and the techiques that might work in an election year I think are often ill-suited to drumming up policy support. Plus, in regard to these deficits, there is not enough lipstick in the world to make this pig look pretty. I think this is poor political strategy.
