Make the owners of the repssessed houses pay the property taxes. Make the banks pay their property tax, or repossess the houses from the banks.

In a global economy, stimulus works only if you have the manufacturing facilities in your country. In an economy with unions, stimulus does not work.

LOL Republicans claim that Obama hasn't helped unemployment and bash him for it, then when he wants to give more money to states so they don't have to lay workers off they bash him for that.

If anyone really thinks this isn't purely political gamesmanship, wake up.

While there is political gamesmanship in suggesting the president owns the current state of the economy, his trillion dollar boondoggles haven't helped any. In fact, a person might argue that taxing the private sector to grow the public sector is ass backwards and is hurting our recovery.

We want the President to stand for economic growth, not to stifle it with a government bubble of fake wealth and public sector jobs.
