Recovery the Republicans hostage?

Yes, if you believe Barack Obama. Among the accusations that have been made by him, the Republicans are holding the middle class hostage, while at the same time playing defense on his policies. I think we are at the point where no matter what the president does, there will not be a pickup in the economy until next year, at the earliest. Now, anyone who has read this blog before will tell you that I have supported the first stimulus pack. I believe, however that we did not spend enough, but with the little progress that we've seen, it might be better to switch tacks, and start paying our defecit. And the first way that I can think of doing that is cutting NASA out of the budget, coverting it into an Rand D department, and cutting their budget to 10 million for one year.
