Pete Sepp, National Taxpayer's Union, joins Thom. President Obama’s stimulus package in 2009 kept our economy from a Great Depression - but it wasn’t nearly big enough to re-boot strong job growth. His own economic advisors told him this - but he decided to compromise with Republicans in the Senate by reducing its size and throwing in some tax cuts. As a result - Republicans can make the argument that it failed - and now - it looks like President Obama is making the same mistake twice - with a stimulus package that is too small to work. The reason why is - he's backed himself into a trap...and it's an old trap that Republicans have used often.

1. No, he's in a cave of his own making.

His earlier caving to Repukes has put him into a big hole.
