How Is X Stimulative?
Gibbs' presser right now has just touched on a good point. Some of the opposition to the stimulus bill seems to totally miss the picture. A currently common refrain is "How is redoing the National Mall stimulative?" Look -- if you disagree with Keynes, say so, and say why, and suggest something else. But otherwise, don't act like an idiot. Obama's not saying that we need more grass in Washington's parks in order to stimulate the economy. He's saying that hiring people to take care of that grass is what will get things on the right track.
