Bipartisan = specifically : marked by or involving cooperation, agreement, and compromise between two major political parties.
The Tango has started but no one is dancing because it takes two to tango. The lack of cooperation is called gridlock.
It may be a politically expedient thing to assert power by banding together but at a time when cooperation is needed and quickly the kind of block voting we are seeing is not only selfish but it's also self defeating. I'm not just talking about the Republican Party. The Democrat Party may be a little guilty themselves.
The stimulus bill is in danger of being too little too late. We cannot stack the bill with non-stimulus add-ons and we should go back to pre-Bush tax levels for the wealthy and Obama cuts for those making less than $250,000/yr.
We need to give Small business a tax break, tax breaks for job creation, create new and upgrade existing infrastructure including drinking water systems.
Republicans need to understand the country wants an end to the war and and a beginning of jobs in this country. They need to understand that we don't want a communistic country but a fair capitalist country where workers are valued and paid a living wage and executives should not be so greedy as to take huge bonuses at the same time workers are being laid off (to save costs).
I do agree Business is the Engine of prosperity but business needs to know that their workers are the fuel for that engine and prosperity is the consumers of their goods.
I just don't understand how 100% of the Republicans can vote against this bill and all but a handful of Democrats voted for it.
Why is this all so hard to understand? We have tried "Trickle down economics" a few times now and each time it ends in disaster.
The law of supply and demand has merit but it can be manipulated and to be perfectly honest what would business and the economy do if we stopped demanding and started buying only what we need. We saw that with gasoline prices. Sad thing is that Supply can and has been manipulated for profit and it's the flip side of a boycott. Neither are good for the economy.
I do think the Republicans should realize we voted for change and Barack Obama's agenda and they need to give a little back to the country by cooperating and not playing games.
