Well said. Most of the money won't be spent for another two years and what has been spent hasn't been in the private sector. If you're going to propagandize Keynes, at least have the policy match the propaganda and let's see if it actually works.

Perhaps none of it matters. All of this assumes that Congress knows what it's voting for in the first place.

"If every member pledged to not vote for it if they hadn’t read it in its entirety, I think we would have very few votes." --Stenny Hoyer, referring to a 1,500-page health-care reform bill coming up in the House (http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=50...)

How can any of this giant, sweeping legislation be any good?
