Thoughts regarding the stimulus package that will be voted on tomorrow:
Mediocrity is a byproduct of bipartisanship. If this package gets pushed through on Monday, then Michael Steele was right, bipartisanship is overrated. Through the spirit of bipartisanship we will achieve a stimulus package that will pass, and then fall way short of the necessary magnitude of spending needed. (If you subscribe to the stimulus through Govt. spending camp as I do.) Looks like more expensive policy that will fail aswell as vindicate the Obama naysayers.
