Correction, the non political part I can respond here. You are underestimating the stimulus that a reduction from $38 to $26 in crude cost have, I estimate that to be at least a stimulus of $70 to $100 B...close to 1% of GDP and much more than the spread out stimulus of the proposed tax cut. Furthermore, the extra $80 B just authorized by congress will also trickle back into the economy. These two will prevent us getting back into a recession for few quarters, and the politicos goal is to keep us out of recession until the middle of next year, at least.
