Candidates and Bloggers Respond To Bush Stimulus Plan — by Catherine Morgan (cross-posted at Care2 Election Blog and at The Political Voices of Women)
It seems like it was just yesterday that President Bush was trying to convince us that the American economy was on a “solid foundation” (well, he actually said that about two weeks ago). Finally, the Bush administration is ready to admit there may actually be some cracks in that foundation, and today announced plans for an economic stimulus package.
Now the question is – Will this plan to stimulate the economy actually work? Who will this plan benefit the most? Will it benefit the people struggling the most in our country? My first impression of this plan, is that it will just be a band-aid, and one that will be too small to actually stop the bleeding.
I was disappointed (although not surprised) that President Bush didn’t go into more detail about his plan…It felt a lot like another one of his “just trying to stay relevant” moments. It sounded like he wanted to let congress know that it will be his plan or no plan. Even though he spoke of bi-partisanship, I didn’t get the sense that he actually meant it [I do hope I am wrong about that].
What are some of the candidates saying about the Bush economic stimulus package?
