much too heavily on tax cuts.
And there were plenty of people back then saying things were worse than they looked - and they were ignored.
Yes, it did prevent catastrophe, but the disaster continues.
The stimulus, as it was, was the MINIMUM necessary - it was giving aspirin to someone with a 104 temp. It was a good start, it was NOT then end game they claimed it was.
