So you're a moderate Congressman in a swing district and you see the administration unable to project how it will get the first $700 billion spent anytime soon, and now they want you to vote for MORE stimulus spending? If this was meant to get Obama to ask Congress to restructure the authorized stimulus in more efficient ways, then Krugman should have just said so. But to equate these first months of a stimulus plan with FDR's results from 1933-37 is senseless. Amazing how many people think the world can be reinvented in 90-120 days. The idea that we should measure results and implement drastic changes so soon is absurd, IMHO.
