The Obama-Limbaugh Stimulus Plan

[GTaudiophile]

I am still reading it, but I am liking the concept so far.

The "plan" was proposed by Limbaugh in a WSJ Op-Ed piece today and is making front-page news on CNN.

Read the Op-Ed here.

Edit: In a nut shell, the "plan" is to take the $900B spending bill and split it along the lines by which Obama won and McCain lost the last election (about 60/40). Obama would decide how 60% of the money is spent on new pork/projects. Limbaugh would decide how 40% goes towards tax cuts. At the end of the day, we'd compare which percentage is more affective at creating jobs.

Why not?

I heard it when I was listening to him the other day.

I don't know what to think. I didn't think he was serious.

Care to argue the article instead of attack the person?

Nice appeal to bipartisanship by labeling the Democratic spending as 'pork'. Stay classy.

The real reason is because of the way our democracy is structured. Bipartisanship doesn't mean that the majority party abandons all of the advantages of being the majority party, it means that the minority party is given a chance to make some changes and affect legislation. (when in reality the Democrats don't really need to pay them much attention at all). I mean, should Obama govern 53% like he wants to and 46% like McCain would have? Of course not, that would be silly.

The real reason Limbaugh is pushing this is because he thinks it's the best deal he can get. Everyone knows that if the shoe were on the other foot Limbaugh would be screaming about how ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES. It's just an idiotic partisan ploy coming from an idiotic partisan.

correction - underage Domincan male prostitutes...

Ok - I'll argue the article - why now does the 'losing' side get a voice in what takes place - it's Rush Limbaugh folks - just an overpaid, lying, completely hypocritical POS that is example 1A of what is wrong with American Politics. People who for some god-forsaken reason listen to this windbag are some of the worst-informed people on issues that matter, because all Rush gives them is the lies that make his view of the world look better, which most of the time is a significant distance away from reality.

I said this in another thread too - their isn't one, singular, purpose of the 'stimulus' bill - job creation is one of the primary goals - not the only one.

There have been so many Tax Cuts the last 8 years, the US should be Booming. It's not.

Geeshh!! I'm not even going to waste my time reading the article let alone arguing about it.

 

[fskimospy]

Oh, and the genius actually thinks that the only difference should be 8% between what Obama and He Himself decides.

Yeah, control of all elected branches of government should give you approximately an 8% advantage on what to do with the country. This isn't stupid at all... noooooo.

Well its clear the democrats have no interest in bipartisanship. Its the 'Fuck you, we won' attitude. Which is their right. But lets be honest and say Obama is no 'uniter'. We've been told for the past couple of years now that Bush is out of control on spending. Obama ramps it up 3 fold and we're told its the only way to get out of this mess. This spending bill is absolutely NOT a stimulous package.. its a democrat party pork package. The democrats have only one interest in mind, and thats paying back their loyal supporters while fucking our country.

I guess making things worse than bush is 'Change' technically.

Bush economic Magic has yet to completely unfold.

Bi-partisanship is a 2-way street. So far it looks like the Reps are purposely taking positions that can not be Compromised with, aka massive Tax Cuts.

While I agree that more often than not 'bipartisanship' means 'capitulate to the Republicans', look who you're talking to. Fear No Evil is a partisan bot.

Lets see if I can quite get my arms around this one. Lets see, in the election of 2008, Obama got about 53% of the vote, McCain about 45% of the vote, and Rush Limbaugh got about 0% of the popular vote. Yet Rush wants to cut out McCain, and generously lets Obama have 60% of the say. While Limbaugh, with his mighty 0% of the vote, magically gets 40% of the say.

Well I for one will give Rush Limbaugh an A+++++++ for chutzpa, other wise, and pardon me Rush, somehow, I do not think it will happen.

Ya got a lot of damn gaul Limbaugh, but this has got to be the most illogical argument I have ever heard from the gas bag turd.

 

[Xavier434]

Why not? Simple. We don't want 40% of the plan to fail.

Quit listening to the voices in your head. They tell you to type stupid things. Who did you post as during the Bush years so we can see how you complained about their spending and pork as well and their "Fuck you, we won" attitude?

Sadly Umbrella39, you do not have a testable hypothesis with, "Who did you post as during the Bush years so we can see how you complained about their spending and pork as well and their "Fuck you, we won" attitude?"

Fear No Evil only joined P&N on 11/14/2008, so he was not around to protest GWB's monopoly on power during the 2001-2007 time period.

hahaha yes, we are going to let a radio host decide how to distribute $360 billion in tax cuts. wowz.

On the other hand, he'd be hard pressed to do as bad of a job as Bush did with the $700 billion dollar bank bailout package...

I dunno, while Bush might not have been the smartest guy he at least had people who were bright to help him where as Fat Gasbag is just spewing out of his much used pie hole.

 

[Insomniator]

I'd rather him allocate it than Bush/Obama.

How could he do worse? He could burn the money and it would be better than whatever is going to be done with it. He could fly over the country in his private jet throwing it out the windows and it would be be more stimulating and make more sense then the two plans.

Wait, where did the first trillion go again?

Don't ask questions like this. This forum, for 80% of the population is about using every logical fallacy in the book along with out and out insanity to attack a person instead of their ideas. Case in point with most of the replies here.

His proposal would never, ever be implimented but it would be, undeniably, bi-partisan, which was his point. Bi-paritsan, partisan, have been thrown around by the left like crazy lately whenever a Republican doesn't bend over to accept a raping by a Democrat, they go out and wave the "partisan" label around the media and the idiots believe it. I'm so sick of the word "partisan" because it's lost all meaning, and instead of a tool of democrats to raise hatred for republicans for being... republicans.

As far as being bi-partisan though, Rush's plan for the new Communist-lous package is a true Bi-partisan proposal but it'll never work because the left has no interest in bi-partsianship if they have to compromise at all.
