"Stimulus" means spending, idiots!

Robert Reich explains why the Republicans are trying to steer us toward disaster:

This isn't a matter of more or less government, however much Republicans and conservatives would like to wedge it in that old ideological box. The issue is how to revive the economy. When consumers and businesses can't or won't spend enough to keep the economy going, government has to be the spender of last resort. Period.

I recommend the whole thing.
