In Which Zandar Answers Your Burning Questions

Robert Reich asks:
There's no reason to suppose the 1st quarter of 2009 will be any better, and lots of reason to think it will be worse. Government is spender of last resort. We're at the last resort now. $787 billion over two years, and only two-thirds of it real spending, is way below what will be needed to get the economy moving back toward full capacity. Do Republicans know this? Is this why they're continuing to bet that the economy won't be recovering by November, 2010, and why they're going to continue to say no?
Why yes and yes, Bob.

The GOP is committed to the destruction of the American economy for political gain. From Bobby Jindal turning down federal stimulus dollars in order to earn conservative cred to John Boehner's laughable hypocrisy calling Obama's legislation a "job killer" to Mitch McConnell's equally laughable hypocrisy saying that Republicans "prefer personal freedom" to government control, the Republicans have bet their political future that America will all but collapse, and that the GOP will be able to rise from the ashes anew.

And they'll do everything they can to nudge America off the cliff.
