And here is one more thing to consider: There is absolutely no evidence that any stimulus package in the past 80 years has goosed economic activity—not FDR’s during the Great Depression, not Japan’s during the 1990s, and not George W. Bush’s in 2001 and 2008. If anything, the economic evidence suggests that such spending packages actually intensified and prolonged misery.

This is the point we need to keep hammering on. The stimulus defenders say plans the reason previous spending plans failed is that they were not 'big enough'. Well, if that were true, then the economy would have gotten a little better, it wouldn't have gotten worse.

Obama seems to be using fear that the package won't get passed while admitting that there is a chance it might not work. Well, what about the very real fear that it will actually MAKE THINGS WORSE?
