When Bush and Congress Agree -- Catastrophe!
by Dana Chasin, 2/13/2008
President Bush signed the economic stimulus package this afternoon. Bipartisanship reigns. Whoopee. The White House transcript is here. Raise your hand if you're not breaking out the champagne. The lard-up was not as bad as it could have been. But the fundamentals of stimulus-palooza were wrong at the start and wrong at the signing. Borrow and spend may be good politics, but it is bad policy. Hillary wins.
-- Michelle Malkin
Let's be honest, Congress ($160 bn. spent) was far more generous than Hillary ($110 bn. proposed). So it'd be nice to know: why does Michelle think it's bad policy (she neglects to say) and how does Hillary uniquely win in this (or is that her non sequitor prediction for November)?
P.S., the White House transcript is unilluminating, or I'd have linked to it.
