If there's one thing I think a stimulus plan should definitely NOT do, it's create jobs. That would just be terrible. Thanks to the "centrists" in the Senate, Paul Krugman thinks this bill will leave about 600,000 fewer people without jobs.
Speaking of Krugman, loved his performance on Morning Joe the other day...
Joe Scarborough: ...George Bush over the past eight years had the most disastrous spending policy. They decided to cut taxes, they decided to increase the deficit. They decided to increase entitlement spending while they were fighting two wars. They made no tough decisions whatsoever. You can't say that that's the traditional conservative approach to economics. It was a disaster and I think we can all agree with that, can we not?Paul Krugman: You've got some mythical image of what a modern conservative is. Reagan increased spending while cutting taxes. Bush increased spending while cutting taxes. Who is your ideal here?
