If the stimulus is viewed as a failure, it will be a failure. It's just that simple. Democrats won't be able to argue that it failed because of Bush's policies. That isn't something the public will accept.mike volpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02999118519606254362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098264341625381422.post-57407070200642579422009-01-27T11:32:00.000-08:002009-01-27T11:32:00.000-08:00One thing, though: the stimulus will *not* work. ...One thing, though: the stimulus will *not* work. Keynsian notions of artificially pumping up aggregate demand are thoroughly discredited, and have never worked (see New Deal, failure of; Zimbabwe, collapse of).<BR/><BR/>So the economy will still suck in 2010, at least. The Dems strategy of course is to Blame Bush, and their MSM lackeys will push the lie.<BR/><BR/>The question is, how forcefully will we fight back? (remember, we will likely have lost talk radio by then).<BR/><BR/>Where is our Reagan, our Gingrich, our Bill Buckley? The Dems have figured out that if the public will swallow the Global warming scam, they'll swallow anything.<BR/><BR/>Our one hope is that Obama wi8ll trip over his gargantuan ego.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
