I think a lot of people have been cutting back on gifts and treats for their children during most of the year (at least compared to past years), and this might be one time they might try to splurge without going into debt. It wil be interesting.

As far as jobs why not a similar program, every tax dollar owed by business could instead be used to hire new US employees? If the idea behind stimulus is to get job growth bypass the middle man, again same two problems, might work, and lets business manage itself.

Take it step further, capital gains holiday, any money invested in a new business over the next 4 years is free of capital gains forever, makes risk a bit more tenable in tough times.

The real issue is the insanity of the progressives, there will be no stability until they are put away in the insane asylum where they belong, less stability = more risk = worse economy, great depression phrase was "They went home and cried into their martinis" or something like that. Of course they could bring back the "Undistributed Profits" tax I suppose.

Fixing the problem they created means getting them out of the loop, and that is too great a price to pay for a progressive. ... See all content Hide content

I love the idea of a tax holiday to allow people to rebuild their wealth, only 2 problems, the government would have to stop spending the next 100 generations incomes, and it might work. I also think there would be a heck of a lot of spending in some segments of the population. That would be really bad news for the progressives, I mean let people keep and do what they will with their own money?

Preposterous!

You have to love the NY Times and their "Geniuses". No matter how wrong they were, things would have been much worse had they not tampered with the economy in the first place, wash, rinse and repeat until our country looks like a version of the movie "Road Warrior"

“It is only when the people become ignorant and corrupt, when they degenerate into a populace, that they are incapable of exercising their sovereignty.

Usurpation is then an easy attainment and an usurper soon found. The people themselves become the willing instruments of their own debasement and ruin.” – James Monroe

Edward Hopper was probably a psychic/prescient. That work always reminds me of the malaise that overtakes when Democrats control Congress, something Hopper may have foreseen. Those people must be pondering their plight as they sup at a diner rather than at a restaurant with tablecloths and menus after they just filed their tax returns.
