The Libertarian Party has called on Congress to end the remaining stimulus spending, citing poll statistics that show that a plurality of Americans believe that the stimulus is too big and does not help the economy.
According to the article, “Thirty-six percent (36%) disagreed and 20 percent were not sure. Fifty-five percent (55%) want the tax cuts preserved, a position they share with the Libertarian Party. Thirty-nine percent (39%) say the increased spending will be good for the economy, but 44% say it will be bad.”

Republicans and Democrats get out in excess of 100% of the vote on a fairly regular basis. If the old parties can do it, why should the challenger parties not be able to?

No matter whom is in the residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, most of our complaints about the rest of the world can be EASILY applied to the Global, Fascist, Imperial American Empire!
