The second part of Obama's stimulus plan is supposed to be tax cuts. And when I say tax cuts what I really mean is Obama's version of tax cuts - which would be welfare checks. Now PEBO is running into opposition from his own party. This is because a lot of Democrat senators are grumbling that they believe tax cuts won't do much to stimulate the economy or create jobs. Why would they? They are Democrats who are in love with government. Tax cuts give money to the people, it empowers people .. it does not empower the Max Baucuses of Congress, who would get to decide how to spend stimulus money.

Just remember this: This is true for politicians for both sides of the aisle - but especially true of Democrats. When you win that election and go to Washington your immediate focus quickly changes from "serving" the people to making sure you don't lose this wonderful job with all of these privileges and perks. Do keep your job you immediately work on expanding and strengthening your power. Stimulus money for government to spend is power. Stimulus money for private citizens is not. This is all just that simple.
