Psst...tax cuts are stimulus spending!

Lost in all of the conversation about extending the Bush tax cuts is the fact that Republicans support stimulus spending. There was a reason the stimulus package contained almost $300 billion in tax cuts. It stimulates the economy. The problem I have with the tax cuts is not their stimulative properties but the fact that they are a very poor stimulator, especially when give to those in the higher tax brackets. The next time a Republican claims to be against stimulus spending just remind them that they are completely full of shit and they only difference between them and the Democrats is that a Republican only cares about stimulating the rich.
