President Bush won’t rule out the possibility of a larger economic stimulus package than the $150 billion program already outlined to reinvigorate the ailing economy, the White House said Tuesday.

Bush last week offered the outline of a short-term economic boost, but the slumping of the global economic market since then has raised the question about whether he’s willing to broaden the package. Word of the administration’s thinking came on the same day that the Federal Reserve announced a three-quarter percentage point cut in a key interest rate to steady the economy.

Discussing the White House’s options, press secretary Dana Perino told reporters: “I’m not going to close the door, but I’m not suggesting that anyone believes it has to be bigger” than the $150 billion figure already discussed.

3. At this point more *stimulus* packages will just expose the truth.

The economy is royally screwed, and the 150+ Billion is a drop in the bucket. It won't help stave off the recession or the market tumble. Hang it up chimp. You succeeded, you broke America.

The only thing is, it happened a little earlier than planned. It is obvious it was puke policies that did. If they could have held off 11 more months, they'd blame it on a Dem. No chance now.

4. Throwing $2trillion at Afghanistan and Iraq (okay, into his buddie's pockets)

hasn't solved those problems. Why should such a tiny tincture solve ours?

They know economics. They're mocking us again, to our faces.

5. Why? He has already reamed out the economy....

You could drive semi truck size stimulus package up the economy as long as we are spending billion per week in IRaq and the economy wouldn't feel a thing.

his and cheney's letters of resignation - effective immediately...
