SocraticGadfly: Stimulus 2.0?

February 17, 2009

Stimulus 2.0?

In signing the economic stimulus package legislation today, President Barack Obama didn’t rule out a second round of such legislation.

I’m of two minds about this pronouncement, made via press secretary Robert Gibbs.

On the one hand, it’s good to hear that he will do more if more is necessary.

On the other hand, to announce it at the bill signing sounds like he’s saying what Congress just passed won’t be enough.

And, per Paul Krugman and many other people, we know who’s fault that ultimately is.

Oh, follow the link to see the picture from the signing story.

Veep Joe Biden looks like he’s the proud father of a high school kid signing an athletic scholarship letter of intent. Either that, or he ate too much bad Beltway Mexican food.
