5. Then since this is the least effective form of stimulus,
Let us abandon it and opt for a WPA style jobs program instead? We do, after all, have large majorities in Congress and control the White House. Yeah, yeah, I know, I know, the Dems don't have sixty votes in the Senate, but gee, wouldn't it be nice if the Dems actually fought for something for a change? Force the 'Pugs to do an actual talk all night, pee in a bottle filibuster over a jobs program. You don't think that lots of political hay could be made out of that one? And gee, if Dems are seen as actually fighting for the people, don't you think that would help out elections in November? Wow, what a concept.
