Deroy Murdock gets a 10 for this column on the idiocy of the “stimulus” package.
While Obama could admit that he screwed up on nominating Tom Daschle, he can’t, just can’t, admit that his policy of trying to restore prosperity by an enormous binge of borrowing and spending was a screw up. Leftists can admit to mistakes about individual people, but never on their whole worldview that government creates prosperity through its beneficent spending.
So what’s going to happen when the economy keeps sliding despite all the “stimulus?” Probably the same thing as when medieval doctors (remember Steve Martin as Theodoric of York, Medieval Barber?) bled patients and they failed to get better. More bleeding!
