Taxpayers subsidizing $2.2 trillion in new Stimulus way to get economy going says Grijalva and Ellison

From Eric Dondero:

Forget tax cuts, and deregulation of industry. The two leading socialist members of congress Reps. Grijalva and Ellison want more tax dollars out of the pockets of working Americans.

Their plan, (via TheHill) "Liberal House Democrats urge 'bold action' from Obama on jobs issue":

Reps. Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.) and Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) — the co-chairmen of the Congressional Progressive Caucus — want the president to champion sweeping investments in the nation's crumbling infrastructure as a way to create jobs and jolt the sluggish economy.

"With 14 million Americans still looking for work, this is not the time to tinker around the edges," the lawmakers wrote to Obama Thursday. "We must take bold action, and that requires federal emergency jobs legislation."

"The country’s infrastructure needs an estimated investment of $2.2 trillion," Grijalva and Ellison wrote. "We should not delay these crucial investments, especially while millions of Americans are out of work. Rebuilding America — without creating expensive new corporate tax loopholes — will further boost our economy and create badly needed jobs.
