CONFUSED BY THE STIMULUS BILL?

The best place to go for thoughtful analysis and the "Cliff-notes" version of these bills is the Heritage Foundation (http://www.heritage.org/news/economic-stimulus.cfm) which is a think-tank that provides great policy analysis and good executive summaries of this stuff. For the best alternatives to the Democrat and the Political Left's ideas on re-engineering our economy, go to "American Solutions" (http://www.americansolutions.com/) run by the most successful Speaker of the House in American History, Newt Gingrich. They have a great way of condensing the issues. The best book on understanding economic Principles is Milton Friedman's "Free to Choose." There is also a great PBS series by the same name that is available online for free (http://www.ideachannel.tv/). I think you will agree that the Stimulus bill is confusing. But most all legislation that comes out of the US Congress is confusing. I think there should be a law that all bills must be able to be read and understood by a High School graduate! If the Democrats will not allow for School vouchers to give parents choice, then shouldn't they have write bills for graduates of the public school system? Why else would you write laws that no one can understand if your intent is not to steal, mislead, and misdirect the American People, whom you are supposed to serve? Sphere: Related Content
