Isn't this the same thing that most liberals claim that GW did after the 9/11 attack? I see this stimulus fear the same way. It is not as bad as they say, yet, but Obama uses it to further his agenda. And only 3 republicans voted for it. So when it fails, it is totally a democratic baby. that is why the dems wanted so bad to get the republicans on board......so they could not be blamed when it failed.
