Stimulating Thoughts

An article on why the stimulus won't work.

I am skeptical about the stimulus. Not in concept - because it's pretty clear government is the only institution big enough to try to get things going again. But mostly because it seems like we're putting a lot of good money after bad - towards companies and industries who failed...and who have hijacked the debate and are insisting it is in our interest that they survive. But what do I know?

On a political level, it does seem like the Republicans are a lot more comfortable being the naysayers and critics than the folks in charge. Of course, that role is always easier.
