THE REPUBLICAN RANT

Far be it for me to suggest that those who have risen to such powerful seats of government such as the United States Senate and House of Representatives do not understand the fundamentals of how money must flow in order there precious capitalistic system to work. While it is true that there is an old axiom which holds that you must have money to make money. However, that holds true only it one enter a business where is customers have the money and desire to purchase goods. If there is a hesitancy on the part of the consumer to purchaser to spend money because he or she does not know if their job will still be there in the morning, or if they are already unemployed then the manufacturer would be foolish not to at least cut back on production. Then of course at the point of sale fewer people will be needed to sell the product..
So here I arrive at my point. The Republicans ranted and raved about insufficient tax cuts for businesses. This argued John McCain was the only way to grow the economy. This clearly showed why McCain was confused during the last election campaign. If you give tax breaks to the businesses, most who are hurting because they are not moving enough product at a profit bearing price, where is the incentive to hire more employees. Are the going to make more products which are not selling. Nope, they are going to pay down there debts and hoard the cash until times improve. This is the same practice the banks were using with the first TARP money; that and figuring out to glean as much as they could for their executives. In other words they are willing to throw more money at business and let them hold onto it hoping that at some point the banks start lending again and the average American wage earner is again starting off behind the proverbial "8" ball. However, these same naysayers are speaking with forked tongues when they are right there in line to get their states share of the stimulus money on the one hand, while they all voted against it and are hoping it fails. Had they done that during the past 8 years Cheney would have probably labeled them unpatriotic. The bill is past now. Isn't their job to try help make it work if possible to improve the well being of all Americans. Ideologies should be left for the next bill to come through but it seems as if Rush "pop another pill" Limbaugh has them marching lock step to his cadence of "I hope this fails." In other words he wants things to get worse for Americans only for his ideological demigods.
