On the one hand I was pleased that one of the three republicans who voted for the stimulus was PA’s Arlen Specter, and had planned to send a thank you to his office. But then I got this email from him that makes my blood boil.  In it, he writes:

My preference would have been John McCain’s proposal, which I voted for, to have the stimulus package of $421 billion in tax cuts alone. I voted for the Reagan tax cuts back in 1981 and that would be the best course…

Wake up Alen Specter!  Cutting taxes on the wealthy, coupled with a disintgration of bank regulations led to the mess we are currently in, and your preference would have been to do more of the same old tired failed practices? What planet are you living on?

 

So, thanks, but no thanks Arlen Specter! Come election time, we can find someone who is looking forward, not wanting to give us more of the past!
