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.

Rush is anything but bi-partisan. You can't define bi-partisanship with dollar figures alone.

Well I have to admit, it will give Rush plenty to talk about, as he wonders why the dems failed to see his obvious quite self evident genius. Just ask Rush if you do not believe me.

The Senate version of this bill (that Obama has given far more support to) contains about 39% tax cuts. Limbaugh's idiotic idea would contain 46% tax cuts. So, in about 7% we go from VICIOUS PARTISANSHIP to WONDERFUL BIPARTISAN COOPERATION. This is even starting from the loony-tunes position of Limbaugh that thinks that the party controlling all the branches of government should get all of 7% more say.

So what if the Democrats have eliminated money for family planning, and some of the other spending that the Republicans objected to, so what if they've inserted the AMT tax break at the request of the Republicans? So what if they had to do absolutely none of this, because the Republicans have been reduced to a rump of a party? They aren't compromising at all!

PS: Did I mention Limbaugh is a ridiculous turd yet?

Care to argue the article instead of attack the person?

why treat any of his ideas credibly when they clearly come from someone under heavy sedation?

are you one of his co-dependents, too?

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?
Rush Limbaugh holds no Office, except in that unholy cadre he calls "The Drive-By Media". He's the wheel man.

Limbaugh, the one tune baboon, keeps playing that same old saw, keep warming that same old soup, over and over and over and over again. There is nothing funny about him and his ilks malfeasant, nonfeasant, misfeasant ideas about life and government.

Now that waterboarding is out, we need something that isn't cruel and unusual, or against the Geneva Convention. Maybe we could make terror suspects listen to The Best of Limbaugh 365x24x7 until they crack or just lose their minds! That would be cruel, but not unusual.
