Next round of economic stimulus?

Bush is an optimist so he doesn't think any such actions are necessary. Yes, the same Bush who assumed business would act responsibly but they didn't, which is why we're in this situation today. For those grounded in reality it's obvious a follow up stimulus package is necessary. The longer this is delayed, the longer this cycle will drag out. Bush wants to avoid being pinned not only with two recessions, but he also wants to avoid any more spending as if he hasn't already broken the bank.

The Republicans spent years telling the country that they were business people so they could run the country like a business. What they failed to explain was that yes, they'd run it like Enron or Countrywide Financial or another failed model. Forget about what the Republicans want and let's think about what the country wants. For the next stimulus, forget about these tax rebates and let's refocus on the infrastructure of the US which is not worthy of a great country. Create new jobs for families and bring this up to date. Sure it's going to be expensive, but it needs to be done and we need to pump more cash into the system. The GOP and friends cashed in on the American population in recent years so tough luck if they don't like it.
