Most analysts predict that the fiscal stimulus will have its greatest impact on growth in the second and third quarters of 2009. Related to this, continued tightness in credit markets is a concern. According to the Federal Reserve Board’s Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey, last released in August 2009, lending standards had ceased to tighten as rapidly as they had last fall and winter, but they had not yet begun to loosen. By mid-2010, fiscal stimulus will likely be contributing little to growth.

No. The hen worked hard to create bread. The other animals -- the pigs, the fox, the sheep -- sat around and criticized and didnt help make it. But when the bread was ready they were all more than willing to help eat it.

The bread never worked which was called out from the get-go. In that story her bread produced. Your analogy fails...

Or their recipe is all wrong.

But, you know, only a small percentage of the total stimulus has been used, and they already want a second stimulus package.

They're really hungry.

? Both sides are talking about that.

Anyway the LRH story applies exactly to the Rs; it's why they sat out the last election. They'll let the Obama team clean up the previous R mess, refusing to help and criticizing the whole time, and they intend to sweep in and take credit as the Obama team's work begins to pay off. Maybe you all think that's somehow honorable, I think it's despicable.
