Democrats Are Weighing More Tax Rebates, Pelosi Says
Democrats Are Weighing More Tax Rebates, Pelosi Says (Update3)

By Laura Litvan

July 15 (Bloomberg) -- Congressional Democrats are considering a second round of rebates to taxpayers, saying the benefits of the first checks sent to more than 100 million households this year are being eroded by rising energy prices.

``We will be proceeding with another stimulus package, and we once again hope we will work in a bipartisan way,'' House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said after House Democratic leaders met with a group of economists to discuss the spreading housing crisis and rising gas prices.

1. rinse, wash, repeat
Doing the same things over and over again hoping for different outcomes is in the stupid category.

2. Don't just sit there. DO something...even if it's really stupid.
Oh, wait, that's what you are doing.

3. Oh Hell yes! Gov't borrows more money to pay stimulus checks....
And the price of everything goes up, especially the price of gas, to the point where Americans are hit with higher expenses than the stimulus checks can possibly cover.

Why the Hell don't we just have open looting and theft season from all millionaire politicians?
Remove them of all their wealth, so they can fully understand what their constituents are going through, and then maybe they will actually do something to make a difference for a change.
