Preach

Bob Herbert puts the Republican opposition to President Obama's stimulus plan into clear perspective today in his column in the New York Times. Its a good read and he doesn't mince words. Here was the best part of the column IMHO:

Maybe the Republicans don’t think there is an emergency. After all, it was Phil Gramm, John McCain’s economic guru, who told us last summer that the pain was all in our heads, that this was a “mental recession.”

The truth, of course, is that the country is hemorrhaging jobs and Americans are heading to the poorhouse by the millions. The stock markets and the value of the family home have collapsed, and there is virtual across-the-board agreement that the country is caught up in the worst economic disaster since at least World War II.

The Republican answer to this turmoil?

Tax cuts.

They need to go into rehab.

And the church folks say AMEN!
