#1 Lawrence B. Lindsey: Christina Romer (now ex-chairman of the president’s Council of Economic Advisers, and Jared Bernstein (chief economic adviser to Biden) published a paper projecting what would happen if the stimulus was or wasn't passed.

After correcting for the assumed-starting point of unemployment (moving it higher), the actual economic performance is almost exactly what would have happened if the $800 billion stimulus was never passed in the first place.

#7 This has to be one of the all time dumb moves from the right. However true it might be that Obama and his entire staff need to go, does anyone thing they would take a cue from the right? Boehner looked like a cry baby out there and did more to discredit his party than anything else. He needs to grow up and stop the petty crying on FOX and actually get to work reforming his own party!!!

#9 49Pan, I disagree. This is what opposition leaders do -- keep the heat on. Boehner's speech is here one news cycle, gone the next. Tomorrow someone else on the Pub side picks up the cudgel for a day, and so on.

It's what you do to build an alternative narrative just before an election.

WOULD have been if Preznit Thinskin's Admin didn't squeal like stuck pigs and respond. It will now last all week, especially with the drop in Dow today based on crap for Durable Goods purchase news this AM

#11 Casual analysis of the latest CBO report reinforces the notion that all the blather coming from the WH about the Stimulus is, at best, wild ass speculation. I believe the official term is “Crap in Crap Out”. It’s become apparent that the only defense they have for this boondoggle is that “It could have been worse without it.” Even the Keynesians are all but admitting that the Stimulus will have nothing but a narcotic effect and probably will end with no enduring economic growth. (Especially employment) Boehner’s call was clearly motivated by political goals - that’s what he does. But he broaches a sensible question that should resonate across the political spectrum. After this trillion-dollar experiment isn’t it time to replace the academics and bureaucrats that designed it with people that actually have practical experience in this area?

#13 Steve, You may be right. I just get so damn tired of the left or rights bitching that is devoid of any real issue and solution. Rather than going after his staff, person by person, which sells like character assassin, go after the issues and policies with hard facts. I'm just terribly disappointed in both parties right now. Neither party has the maturity, discipline, and honor of my 14 year old son.
