Tax cuts are definitely the way to go, not more government spending, which is already way too high. Government spending does not help the economy, especially this $800 billion "stimulus" package thats in congress now. It is just a huge grow government spending bill that isn't going to work. Giving more money to welfare and government healthcare and bailouts is just going to make more people dependent on the government.

If you want people to have more money to spend, cut their taxes so they will be able to keep more of the money they earn. It really isn't that complicated. They have worked in the past and they will work again, but government spending also needs to be cut, so we don't add on even more to our ridiculous debt, unlike what Bush did.
