Anyone gains the sense that the GOP Tea Party remains a movement of old, fat, White People who do no work of any kind for themselves: Excepting on the sabbath.
(1) The House GOP, Shine-On, Pledge To America wants the Stimulus money all hoarded. No further spending should be allowed to occur.
(2) The Tea Party Contract From (Outer Space) wants not only an audit of all federal spending, but a Constitutional justification for all federal spending: Presumably going back to the Creation(?), (like it is done in the Bible(?))!
Not even the Mormons: Have that problem, and the Huffington Blog herein linked points out that even The Reagan Era Economists are full throttle in favor of Economic Stimulus!
Robert Kuttner: Recovery, Please
So the Democrats offer the liberal left going into the Midterms. The Republicans offer the Lunatic Right, and even the Crazy People, going into the Midterms. Joining with the Liberal Left are distinguished Conservative Economists of service record in the GOP.
AFL-CIO may be at fault for zealous promotion of pay and benefits, for state and local government employees and teachers, aka, the SOB's Who Caused It All, And The "Working Girls" Who Caused It all.
That aside, state and local governments offer proof that austerity doesn't work when a recovery stimulus is needed. Those are the persons most dirctly the cause of it all. They absolutely forbid even discussion of arithmetic alternatives in their classrooms, and journals. They are without dispute the impediment to getting anything re-started, following all the spending just on them. But State and Local governments are budget constrained. Austerity is imposed since there is less and less revenue. AFL-CIO can spot up to 900,000 more lay-offs if in fact the GOP Tea Party Gets elected. About a third of the giant stimulus package all went to State and Local Government payrolls already, and then another dose went in after that.
Instead of aiding in the recovery, they siphoned the recovery money off, for themselves!
The English austerity, clearly in contrast, is designed to reduce the income of the bankers, and simultaneously to bolster the purchasing power of the poor. In the United States, there have been the Gerald Ford and Jerry Brown attempts at bolstering the purchasing power of the poor, going back a generation or so. The Clintons did an equal dollar per child tax credit for anyone still left on the federal income Tax Rolls. Even Bush II, Term II, went back to rebates: For even fewer remaining on the federal income tax rolls. The Huckabee Fair Tax was directed at spenidng power at the lower incomes. The newer Obama Democrats finally did a refundable, Income Tax Credit, in an equal amount, for all who worked. There was a local recovery stimulus, and one for this tax year, too.
The 1986 Income Tax reform itself had previously raised and indexed the personal exemptions, and the standard deduction, equally for all respective qualifiers. Between the refundable Tax Credit, and the 1986 reform elements: Anyone can see the formation of the first-ever nation-wide, properly computed, COLA's ever in history.
Conservatives and Liberals actually both do that: And even in England, and affected Great Britain.
Austerity and roll-back isn't working all that well even now. The current "austerity" is a hideous, preservative, funding of the state and local bureaucrats and teachers. Anyone would call it a "Preservative Stimulus," intending that nothing be dismantled, and that nothing new be created. In other words, it mirrors school!
The GOP Tea Party makes no such case, nor raises any such outcry. In their various platform, agenda, Mainly The Rugs look soiled: So Pull 'em up and throw 'em all away!
"Crow, James Crow: Shaken, Not Stirred"
(Clearly, Teaching is not possible, or any paid presentations, at any grade level--without the doctoral degree--unless it is believed that some kids are better than the other kids, and that all the other kids are not worh the extra effort. See, for example, the status quo, in America, even now!)
