Selling Wrong Approach wrote on January 10, 2009 11:52 AM: Bush ran a 455 billion defict spending last year including the March to July 200 billion stimulus package.

Spending did not work.

The tax rate changes after 9/11 worked.

Why are we going the failed spending route.

Do State Senate Majority Leaders Steven Horsford, Clark County Commissioner Tom Collins and North Las Vegas Councilwoman Stephanie Smith, even know that what they are selling is the wrong approach?

CBO needs to dynamically score the proposed changes so we can see which gives us premanent jobs (tax cuts)and which give us temporary jobs (spending)

I agree with Heller fan. Look at the Wall Street bailout that Heller had the courage to vote against...it was LOADED with pork. Heller looks out for the taxpayer, not special interests.

Heller fan wrote on January 10, 2009 10:52 AM: truth, you mention "$150 million in earmarks" every time Heller's name comes up. Can you show documentation, give us a link perhaps? Thanks.

community organizer wrote on January 10, 2009 09:51 AM: "Three local Democrats lent their voices Friday to a campaign promoting the massive stimulus"

Obama is implementing his community organizer approach to the Congress.

Most of the stimulus appears to be a bailout to heavily unionized industries. Industry that can not compete on price.

Obama apparently thinks that all Democrats will automatically vote for his package.

What Obama has not said is when will there be economic victory, what does victory look like, and what is his exit strategy to stop the trillion dollar train wreak.

Heller is a pork barrel man! 2 years in office and $150,000,000 in earmarks!

Lawrence Hyde wrote on January 10, 2009 07:47 AM: Ensign already sold out the public by voting for the bank and auto bailouts. Heller is the only one in government from Nevada that pays attention to the voters. Hopefully Ensign will get the message from the voters this time and get out of reids pocket.

This excuse for enacting more control by a bigger government is wearing thin.
