Asking for more stimulus is a no-brainer to help speed up the economic recovery. It worked the first time, it will work a second time. The economic reality is obvious to economists. Only the Republicans remain in denial about this. And reducing capital gains taxes does nothing to boost economic growth. All it does is put more money into the bank accounts of the wealthy, who generally don't bother to spend it.
