Holy cats! And Herman Cain's 9-9-9 plan wasn't grandstanding to get votes from a segment of the population? Or the plan by Ron Paul and Rick Perry to simply disband several departments of the government? Or any of the many plans and strategies put forth day after day by Newtie? Or if you want to go back a few years, how about the Bush tax cuts? That was about 3-4 times as expensive as the plan you've described that Obama has proposed.
And none of this stuff isn't politically driven...designed to get more votes to assure election or re-election? Of course it is, that's what politics are all about.
Just lets not try to convince one another that if these kinds of plans are proposed by the candidates of one party they're solid, well thought out steps that are part of a broader and valid economic plan, while if the other guys do it, it's irresponsible spending driven only by politics.
ALL this stuff is driven by politics!
