I can see their point about a short-term tax cut being much less stimulative than a long term one. The problem is, its also a lot harder to pay for.
But even a short term payroll tax has far more stimulative value for spuring consumption than even a long term upper income tax cut.
The Republicans really have gotten barefaced haven't they? Their entire policy revolves around two things: Will it do little for those who write our major campaign checks, and is Obama for it? If the answer to both is yes, we oppose it.
Utterly shameless.
