Worst Mistake: Trying to reach out to these rabid, right-wing Republicans.
Too true. If you give a mouse a cookie, he'll want billions of dollars in tax cuts at the expense of education or infrastructure investment. Golf courses, ATV trails and money for already loaded universities.
Fixed.
I know you're an idiot, but 1) The stimulus doesn't put money towards the first two, and if it does, not substantial or significant amounts. And even if did, building golf courses and ATV trails will create more jobs than pointless tax cuts and 2) Most of our universities are not loaded; many are facing severe budget crises and are having to make large budget cuts, including the university I attend.
