Obama Stimulus: Where's the Grandeur?

Back to blog

Oh, great, now an adrenaline bailout?

The Republicans say the package is too big, and then that it's not grand enough. Yeah, right. One more example of Pethokoukis complaining just for the sake of complaining. This blog is bankrupt and dishonest. Let's talk about whether we get EXCITED by the plan, or whether we go back to getting plastered and watching women wrestling in mud?

Well, it goes like this

Republicans say big projects can't and don't put money into the economy fast enough. They say tax cuts for rich people are faster, but that unemployment checks for poor people somehow are not.

As for animal spirits of capitalism, lately they gave us Girls Gone Wild, Red Bull and other caffeine shot drinks, the video game Grand Theft Auto, and famously a new %50 million jet plane slated for Citigroup.

BTW, Jimmie, do they pay you here to just quote other people and then make wisecracks?
