"Bush says an economic stimulus is needed" - (I hope he's fair.)
"Confirmation that the President supports government intervention. "
That would be, I presume, more tax cuts for the extremely wealthy. What better way to stimulate investment, increase productivity?
And, being fair, who is losing the most in a plunging stock market? A small investor may lose a couple of hundred thousand dollars, more or less. However, wealthy people can lose untold millions!
It ain't fair. Time to use the government to restore wealth to those who have lost the most.
