Republicans debate economy, attack Clinton | Reuters

Republicans debate economy, attack Clinton | Reuters:

"Most of the Republicans backed a $150 billion fiscal stimulus plan agreed on by Bush and leaders of the U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday but said it should be only the beginning, that more tax cuts are needed to help re-energize the ailing U.S. economy.

Huckabee tried to raise some questions about the stimulus.

'One of the concerns that I have is that we'll probably end up borrowing $150 billion from the Chinese,' he said. 'And when we get those rebate checks most people are going to go out and buy stuff that's been imported from China. I have to wonder whose economy will be stimulated the most by the package.'"
