Pass the Trillion.

The problem with some Democrats? They listen. The problem with others, they play by the rules. Grayson is the new Democrat, Franks the old Democrat. OK, I am trying not to spin this, but others spin about the situation.

I find it hard to blame the Republicans for holding the line for what they believe, right or wrong. I find it hard to urge the Democrats to hold the line by taking back from the table what may have been put in the package to appear non-partisan or to please certain pockets. But that is the nature of politics and the transparency is apparently being worked on. There still may be some passing the buck but it is about what works and change. Ching, ching, no pun.

BIG HINT: There is a table at the table;
Fiscal Economic Bank for the Buck Moody's basically seems to dispute what Republicans think(or at least say) works. In fact it seems that spending is 2 to 6 times more effective than tax cuts depending on the focus. In fact there is little bang for the buck Bush style. But this is apparently on GDP and that may not be an effective metric. One must still follow the money.

GOP Plan to Hurt Economy

Huffington Post reports that ABC reports that:

A Goldman Sachs economist has warned that the $60 billion package of spending cuts proposed by the Republicans to counter President Obama's proposal could slow economic growth.

WISCONSIN UPDATE:
I'm not going to make a big production out of this but I see it differently than Ed Schultz**, who wants to hold Obama to his word about "comfortable shoes" and the picket line campaign rhetoric. I believe that circomstances are above and beyond the original scenario and he will be dealing with it more like Libya, behind the scenes and strategically and with everything at his disposal from a big picture perspective. That is not at all to use a violent analogy, only one within the bounds of his responsibilities and the law.

Before the straw that broke the camels back* and I almost violated my original intent here, I will simply add one (or two) more link.

* a computer or blog-spot glitch wiped out a more complete draft regarding mixed metaphor and big productions(original intent)

** loved his passion and intent though
