"To say that the stimulus should be simpler, faster-acting and more disciplined is true but no more use than saying the economy should never have been allowed to get into this mess in the first place. With Democrats in power, the stimulus was bound to be a vehicle for all manner of questionable projects difficult to defend on their merits. A 600-page wish-list? What a surprise. Yet it is better to have this plan than no plan."
