You Can’t Win Them All!

A correspondent – Stephan – writes to tell me that my suggestion that we need at least $200 billion in the infrastructure deal being advocated by Obama is a complete nonsense. He puts me into the Obama camp in terms of timidity.

He’s right of course.

$200 billion is simply too little. Mea culpa. I clearly have fallen prey to the very noxious weakness I accuse Obama of!

Apologies to all.

And thanks to Stephan for putting my spine back in order.

Meanwhile he has a suggestion: the Treasury should simply send out checks to the lowest wage earning families. He sees $750 each as doing the job. Send the checks out in time for Christmas.

Good luck getting that one through Congress. But it would make for great politics. How could the Republicans object to Santa Claus dropping cash off along his route?

Bah Humbug.
