[lbo-talk] Stimulus plan criticisms

[RCu8598882 at aol.com]

SA comments that the problem with the stimulus bill passing is politics,  and 
the comment is accurate: The dems need 60 votes in the Senate and they do  
not have them. As happened with many a proposal with the Congress after   the 
2006 elections, the only way to get passage is to cave into republican  
demands--or else there is no bill. Employee free Choice never had a chance  was one 
victim of McConnell's command of the repub. caucus. Unless there is  pressure of 
an intense kind brought upon moderate repubs to back the bill what  emerges 
as legislation is not going to do the trick. And, of course, I agree  that the 
amount is too smal as it is.
