Rep. Dan Burton (R-Ind.) derided talk of a second stimulus package Wednesday, tweeting that it would merely be a Democratic effort to “save face.”
Remember that stimulus package? Wondering where jobs are? Now Democrats want Stimulus Part 2 to save face.
Congressional Republicans have come out strongly against a second stimulus package, arguing that it would waste money and kill jobs.
Democrats have yet to form a consensus on the proposal. One of President Barack Obama’s economic advisers backed the effort yesterday, but Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said that “there’s no showing to me that another stimulus is needed,” the same day.
