Consider Me Stimulated

Since I've strangely become some kind of spokesperson for "the left"'s discontent with Obama, let me say that the outline of the stimulus package he announced this morning made my heart sing. I give it an A. As recently as six months ago, something along these lines was a progressive fantasy -- something that you'd hear thrown around at think tanks or green jobs conferences. Now it's the stated policy of the president of the United States. Elections have consequences.
