Whatever happened to "hope?"
There's a word for the argument Mr. Obama is using to push is non-stimulating "stimulus" bill.
That word is panic.
And far from being a churlish rejection of the President's outstretched, bi-partisan hand, Republican opposition to the Obama pork-fest is simply common sense.
No, all spending is not equal when it comes to stimulating the economy. And yes, it does matter that we spend every dime Congress appropriates for the purpose of stimulating the economy thoughtfully and intelligently- and that we not simply spend for the sake of spending!
That would be the equivalent of putting an exhausted runner on speed instead of vitamins, water, nourishment, and rest. It would only postpone an even worse crash later on, and prevent a permanent solution.
