The original ARRA

You probably can't copyright an acronym, but ARRA also stands for Arkansas Republican Assembly: "News for social, fiscal & national security conservatives who believe in God, family & country. We seek to uphold the rights of citizens under the US Constitution, traditional family values, Republican principles / ideals, transparent & limited government, free markets, & individual freedom. The ARRA News Service is an outreach of the Arkansas Republican Assembly." Just wanted to clear up any confusion with American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Obama's War against the Economy. Although I think "reinvestment" is a strange word to use when they have instituted the biggest tax grab in history and only citizens create wealth--government spends it--it certainly is more pronounceable than Bush's tax cuts, the 2001 Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act (EGTRRA) and the 2003 Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act (JGTRRA).

Kevin Hasset wrote on Feb. 11, 2008: "This is important to bear in mind as we move forward to the general election. We don't have a deficit because of Iraq, or the tax cuts, or the drug benefit. We have a deficit because the government grew fat. We can't fix that with tax increases. Uncle Sam must go on a diet." Bush was a profligate spender; Obama makes him look like a piker.

EGTRRA and JGTRRA may be unpronouceable but they worked.
