Everyone in America wants the government to end the economic tailspin – quickly. The problem, of course, is that there is little agreement on what the government should do.

Republicans, generally speaking, want to reduce taxes sufficiently to leave a trillion dollars in the pockets of the people so they can purchase the goods and services they want.
