Worry not. It's time to move to the next line in the script. Which reads: "the recovery would have happened anyway".

Tryouts for singing this tune will be on July 25, '09. Full chorus rehearsal on October 20, '09. Critics will publish their reviews in November '010.

Re: The Obama stimulus package has not inspired any confidence.

Sounds like a lot of the market believes in the same pessimism and ideology as you do. You can't ignore perception, but pessimism in a solution does not imply that the solution won't work. History will judge Obama more fairly than his critics.

Re: I hear that it's a "bargain" at $250K/job

It's funny that in some instances you have a problem when people state things that aren't based on fact, but here you are doing the same thing.

You are hearing wrong about the $250 K cos-per-job because you are reading the official Republican talking points and listening to the Leader of the R's -- Rushbo the Great :-)

The true cost per job is less than $70,000 if the stimulus bill strengthens the economy as predicted, because this will lead to higher tax receipts that should be accounted for in cost-per-job estimates.
