Inslee: We're adding $800 billion to our country's deficit without bettering education,

[gateley]

without building one new bridge, without one new technology to show for it.

Said when he went to the grocery store to buy his Christmas tree, 6 people stopped him and said "don't let this go through".

We've got to build our way to prosperity, not tax cut our way, that won't work.

1. Oh, but I'm sure a few people are buying more jets. That's all that matters. nt

2. Here it cut to a Mercedes ad asking: What will you be getting under the tree? nt

3. I can't get through to his website

notaxdeal.com.

I expect thats good news about the traffic it's getting after his appearance on KO

[gateley]

6. When you do, would you report back with the number of signers? When I did

yesterday it was 5 thousand-something, and when I checked again it was something like 6271 @ 7:45p PST. Today it hadn't been updated. I'd love for it to get a MILLION. It was posted on Kos, I think, here, and now on KO - I hope it gets a lot more action.

7. At 8300, but hasn't been updated since before his KO appearance, so I imagine much higher now nt

8. Excellent -- thanks!! nt

4. Wow, that must've been intense at the Christmas tree lot! nt

5. The plan includes a college...

Tax credit...

[gateley]

10. Yes it does, but how does that help the rest of our abysmal educational system? nt

[dennis4868]

11. Obama has bern quite successful...

With his popular education policies but no one thinks that a fucking tax bill is going to solve all the problems of the world.

[gateley]

12. Agree, but we're losing an awful lot and I'm not really sure what we're getting in return.

14. I believe it only extends the college tax credit for 1 year

You'll note that anything in the bill that has more benefits for the working & middle classes got a one year extension (UI, 13 months). The tax cuts, which mainly benefit the wealthy, got two years.

13. I thought the "stimulus package" was

building more than a bridge or two.....

Care to explain where that money came from?
