Oh, my.
Me (and Paul Krugman, based on my reading of Krugman’s position) agree with Mike freakin’ Huckabee on economic stimulus. The Huckster complained about the Bush stimulus package at the debate last night, saying (I’m paraphrasing here) “OK, so we borrow $150 Billion from the Chinese so that a bunch of Americans can buy stuff made in China; how does that help?”
He then said something to the effect of “let’s build some highways. Let’s spend that money here.”
That’s been my point almost exactly (I referenced bridges and New Orleans, but we’re on the same wavelength.)
I ain’t switching, but that’s some ballsy shit from a Republican.
