House GOP sees stimulus in tax cuts, not spending

WASHINGTON – House Republican leaders presented President Barack Obama on Friday with proposals to stimulate the economy that rely exclusively on tax cuts and envision none of the federal spending backed by Democrats and the administration.

The alternative includes across-the-board cuts in the two lowest income tax brackets, placing unemployment benefits off-limits to taxation and a new $7,500 break for home buyers who make a minimum down payment of 5 percent.

Another provision would also cut taxes for small businesses.

Republican Reps. John Boehner of Ohio and Eric Cantor of Virginia outlined the approach at a White House meeting with congressional leaders of both parties at which Obama urged passage of legislation by early February to revive the economy.

House Democrats plan a vote next week on an $825 billion plan that includes about $275 billion in tax cuts and $550 billion in new spending. Much of the spending would come in politically popular areas such as health care, food stamps and road construction and would include money designed to blunt the impact of state budget cuts affecting schools.

I hope that Obama and the Dems laugh in their faces!
Can they really never, ever think of anything except cutting taxes?
Do they not realize that we need some stimulus and new jobs? That our infrastructure is in dire need or repairs? That people need some of these programs to live?
This is their "new idea"?
They really are pathetic...

And Obama's response, via Huffington post:

Obama To GOP: "I Won"
