It's stimulating all right

Sad, watching the senate Democrats in Washington pull apart the stimulus package and strip out aid to the states in the process. The intent, of course, is to get a “bipartisan” bill which increasingly has the appearance of a “ share the blame” bill offering cover if the whole thing doesn't work or fending off potential 2010 campaign issues. We've seen this before, as with the house vote on the bill or in Peanuts cartoons – Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown.

Krugman is right on target, as usual.
