"My initial reaction was the same as [Senate Minority Leader] Mitch McConnell's. I mean, you laugh
because you want to cry. You know here's the crazy thing. I heard
people saying that was just a smart opening statement. I mean, we're
thirty days away from the Fiscal Cliff. Are you serious? You want 50
billion in stimulus? It's just nuts and crazy. If this is negotiating or
if this is compromise — then we are in a lot of trouble. This is the
ultimate power grab. The country is essentially almost completely in
half. This is just saying to the other half, forget about you, forget
about small businesses, and forget about moderately successful couples
who did everything the right way. They're also saying, we're going to
crush you and crush the future of anybody who wants to do well in this
nation." — Charles Payne, conservative analyst for Fox Business, responding to Obama's call for $50 billion in stimulus spending
