DO REPUBLICANS WANT TO DO AWAY WITH THE STIMULUS BILL?
President Obama is saying that the Republicans and their Pledge To America" are irresponsible and they want to end the stimulus bill. You can read the story here and view the 30 minute question and answer session he had with Matt Lauer on the Today show.
Obama says that if they get control of Congress in November, Republicans are going to try to change pretty much everything he has tried to do including the Obama stimulus grants, health care reform, and the stimulus grants.

It is unclear how any of that would play out because it depends on how many Republicans are elected. If they just make gains in Congress but don't take over majority in either house, then nothing would change. Even if they did take control of one or both houses, would they have enough votes to really change anything or just stop spending in the future?
A fair question is whether trying to cut back on spending like the Republicans want really a bad thing? Don't we as a country need to be fiscally responsible? President Obama wants to tax the rich but his definition of the rich starts at $200,000 for a single person and $250,000 for a married couple. There is something called inflation and $250,000 isn't nearly as much as it was 30 years ago. A loaf of bread doesn't cost a quarter anymore you know: it costs $2 to $3 dollars or more now.
This country is in the midst of a big time class warfare. It is those that don't have anything verses those that do. Those that have jobs verses those that don't. Those that have dreams of a future verses those that have given up. It is ugly and it will just get uglier.
As long as everyone is searching for free government money and grants, nothing will get better. People now days want freebies and they don't want to work for them. But the government has no money and the only money it has is our tax dollars. It takes our money and wastes it, over and over again.
How long can this country survive by printing more money and taxing us? Is this America or some socialist country in Europe?
