The Democrat Plan for Getting Out of a Hole: Dig Deeper.

From Martin Crutsinger (AP):

Bush started this year saying he did not know whether a stimulus plan was needed and if it was, he wanted to make sure that Congress made his first-term tax cuts permanent.

But the deteriorating economic situation has now convinced him of the need to offer a stimulus package. Democrats are letting it be known that if Bush is serious about moving quickly, he will need to delink the proposal from his drive to make his tax cuts permanent.

Yeah. Raise taxes. That'll stimulate the economy. NOT.

Why is it that democrats are just chomping at the bit to get their grubby little fingers on our money?
