That's me. I claim no knowledge of what they do or how they work. What I know is what I have gotten from thrid parties and I see that democrats rush to spend money at every opportunity they can and republicans rush to give tax breaks to the comercial machine every time they can. I see both positions as wrong.
As a small business owner I am delighted by the benefits I get, it certainly allows me to put more money into my business. Large corporations don't work at that same level. They also put some money back into their business but being so large the whole economy will tend to develop strong monopolies (news media and publications houses are coming to that point).
The problem is the family that with two incomes can't hardly make 25K and are just above the poverty line. Those are the ones who are supporting the US economy right now and republican policy is shutting down the doors to them.
Another problem is that there is no interest in creating a climate of consensus in fiscal policies. Most republicans (and I am not a democrat-lover or liberal either) are above that line of desperation the vast majority of americans have to live under.
