Government Self Abuse

RealClearPolitics - Articles - What Is Congress Stimulating?

This is very well written, basically just read it. The "stimulus" is purely an attempt by the Democrats to increase the size of the Federal government by an instant 1/3 (about $3 Trillion now, just add a Trillion). The only jobs it stimulates are government jobs!

I especially liked this analysis -- there is no doubt that leadership is an "exposing activity". Even with all the attempted MSM cover, the Democrats can't help show their true stripes when they are in the leadership role.
Then after Tim Geithner scampered through the tax minefield and into
a Cabinet seat, the Daschle tax bomb went off, laying open for public
view the world of Washington's pay-for-favors that makes the average
Wall Street banker look like Little Bo-Peep. 
Conventional wisdom holds that the Republican refuseniks shot
themselves in the foot by staying off the House stimulus package. Real
wisdom holds that congressional Republicans should consider putting
distance between themselves and anything Democratic just now. The
party's crypts are opening.
