CNN is spending the entire day talking about the stimulus |
|
They're talking about how at least 1/4th of it was waste.

2. Fiscal responsibility -- mysteriously becomes Priority 1 when Dems are in power. |

Equally mysteriously, becomes Priority +oo when the GOP is in charge.

3. Much of it was not truly directed at stimulus |

There were some greedy and stupid parts to the bill

4. Technically, there's no such thing as wasteful stimulus. |
|
If the supply of money increases, and people start spending again, the stimulus was successful. I know that we would all prefer that it went to pay for "worthy" causes, but that's not the point. We could use the entire stimulus to pay for gay porn -- just so long as that money finds its way into the marketplace.
