The stimulus was too small
By Creature
That's the conclusion reached today on the front page of the Washington Post. Meanwhile, when the only hope of getting out of this recession is to spend more, House Republicans are calling for a spending freeze. Unfuckinbelievable. I don't blame Republicans for proposing this (after all, they don't want to solve anything, they just like to throw red meat), I blame the media for giving them a platform that doesn't include a Comedy Central logo plastered across the screen.

Surprise, surprise, surprise. The Republicans and the media deserve much of the blame, I agree, but I would also direct some of it at the "centrists." And not just the few Republicans -- Snowe, Collins, Specter -- but the Democrats as well, the likes of Bayh in the Senate and the Blue Dogs in the House.
