Cheney Touts Stimulus Plan in Charlotte
Vice President Dick Cheney said Thursday it was imperative that Congress make strong yet prudent decisions to revive the nation’s economy, touting President Bush’s economic stimulus plan as a means to spur growth and minimize the country’s economic downturn.
Cheney, speaking to about 150 people during a quick stop at the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce, said the country rests on a “solid platform” of economic growth because of policies established during Bush’s seven years in office.
Now, Cheney said, “it’s time to take wise and vital steps” to avoid or minimize the effects of a recession.
Bush’s stimulus plan is a fraud. Plenty of economists have pointed to the 2001 one “rebates” that did next to nothing to spur the economy. The growth came after the tax cuts. This stimulus plan is nothing more than a CYA measure in an election year.
