Det här är alltså de personer demokraterna försöker samarbeta med i kongressen:

”U.S. Rep. Steve Austria said he supports a scaled-down federal economic-stimulus proposal, but the Beavercreek Republican told The Dispatch editorial board that the huge influx of money into the economy could have a negative effect:

”When (President Franklin) Roosevelt did this, he put our country into a Great Depression,” Austria said. ”He tried to borrow and spend, he tried to use the Keynesian approach, and our country ended up in a Great Depression. That’s just history.”

Most historians date the beginning of the Great Depression at or shortly after the stock-market crash of 1929; Roosevelt took office in 1933.”

Den här är också härlig.
