I'm not alone

Previous posts have noted that the Republicans seem to have exactly one (1) economic idea: tax cuts. (See, e.g., here, and also here.)

One of my high school friends posted a DailyKos diary recently, noting that:

The problems confronting working moms are addressed with tax cuts. Global warming is addressed with tax cuts. The deficit is addressed with tax cuts. The problem of peeling paint is addressed with tax cuts.

This wasn't the main point of the diary, but it was good to see someone else make this point!

Unfortunately, past tax cuts, together with large cost of Iraq war, make the option less feasible as defense against economic downturn - we've gone to the well a few times too often. The well is dry. (Unless we get everyone to agree that we can simply suspend the Federal Govt for a couple of years!)

Stop the madness!
