Just heard David Frum on Marketplace.
Surprise, surprise he doesn't like the bailout plan one bit. It's all waste. Never mind that various economists (I think including Krugman, but don't hold me to that) have shown that the direct spending in the stimulus package will likely generate $1.50 for every 1.00 spent and that it's wiser to keep a steady flow of cash into the economy than one quick shot in the arm. Oh, he also seems to have forgotten that most economists believe that tax cuts just don't work to stimulate the economy.

Are these neocons stupid, arrogant, or malicious?
