“Obama has allowed Congress to grow embroiled in nitpicking over efficiency when the central debate should be about whether the package is big enough. When you are dealing with a stimulus of this size, there are going to be wasteful expenditures and boondoggles. There’s no way anyone can spend $800 to $900 billion quickly without waste and boondoggles. It comes with the Keynesian territory. This is an emergency; the normal rules do not apply.”

Thanks for the clarification, Senator Palpatine. Can I fetch your robe and cowl from the cleaners?

“Prescribing Keynesianism to some politicians is like prescribing crack to a coke addict.”

(If they ran more of this during pledge drive week, there would be no need for taxpayer funding.)
