Republican Legislators: Bad Faith Fire Fighters

| No Comments

Discussing the approach of Republican legislators to economic stimulus, Rachel says, (basically--I'm paraphrasing rather than making the effort to make sure this is a verbatim quote): If your house is on fire, and you call the fire department, and they tell you to pour gasoline on your house, they're not making a good faith to help you save your house.

Republicans want us to pour gasoline on our economy. Tax cuts don't work; spending does.

Watch Rachel's insightful analysis if you haven't seen it already.

p.s. If you are one of the unlucky people in the world who don't already know Rachel, read this profile of her from the Guardian.
