Someone needs to put this stimulus package crap into perspective. The effect of a $25 billion "stimulus bill" on a $10 trillion economy will be negligible at best.

Let's call a spade a spade here -- this is exactly what I was saying back in 1993 when Bill Clinton was making an @ss out of himself in an attempt to garner support for his own $16 billion "stimulus bill."

In the long run this stimulus probably won't have any impact at all, you're right. The economy is going to recover on it's own. I think the fight now is a power play between Bush and Daschle, that's why W should steamroll him and show him who the President really is. Daschle has been walking around like he is the President.

But what it does is it makes Dasshole look like Trent Lott: Sputtering and ineffective. Just running this bill through also insulates the GOP from heat on the economy, and if it's done by leaving tire tracks over Dasshole, it's even better.

The leftists do not want any more tax cuts, and we accelerate some of the Bush package. I may or may not see some of it, but it will be a help for a lot of folks.

Bush Jr. did pretty good with this one, IMO.
