Boehner To Obama: Give GOP Economic Stimulus Plan Consideration

House GOP Leader John Boehner on plans for an economic stimulus and working with Barack Obama to craft such a plan:

“Republicans stand ready to work with President-elect Obama and our Democratic counterparts in Congress to enact an economic recovery bill that focuses on tax relief for working families and small businesses, rather than increased spending on government programs and higher taxes. House Republicans have put forth a plan that would do what Americans are asking Washington to do on the economy. President-elect Obama has expressed a desire to govern from the center. In that spirit, I’m hopeful he will give our plan his full consideration as he assembles his economic team – not for our sake, but for the sake of the American people, who are struggling in this economy.”

what about people who are only receiving social security, unable to work due to disabilities, are we going to be removed from the stimulus plan

I hope so you dont work or pay any taxes. That defeats the whole point of stimulus

Boehner set the stage for bipartisan legislation when he called Obama "chickensh--t." I say tell him to "f--- off! We'll do it democratic party way this time. We don't need you guys screwing it up again."

President-elect and the Dem Majority should listen to him WHY? Nah. Don't think so.

ANOTHER “stimulus” plan…?! How very predictable. I see that he is already practicing his assigned role as “savior”. Toss a few small crumbs to the multitudes, in their time of desperation, in order to stave off a revolution. How very revolting.

will!!!!!!!!I am sorry but i pay taxes on my disability....IF THEY WOULD GIVE US ALL 5000.00 THEN THE ECONOMY WOULD BE STIMULAYED

The goverment won't listen to us, it's like talking to a brick wall...The Goverment want's to own us all.
