US 'Economic Stimulus' Budget Review

[Lemur]

[K]indly refrain from sharing stories from [...] the Economist or other similar news contemplative magainzes from the other side.

The Economist is from the "other side"? For real? Then what on earth is your side?

I don't understand why people are getting so worked up about a plain statement of fact. All I said was that we (a) shouldn't base our discussion purely on that source, and (b) that I would need corroborating evidence before I took what they had to say as true.

If I opened up a thread with nothing more than a long screed from Daily Kos, I expect you'd ask for backup as well.

Check out any of the factual bits of what I've posted. It's all legitimate, and if it isn't I'll happily retract. Here's another source on the non-existent CBO report that NRO went on about.

The truth of the matter is that the bailout and the stimulus are huge, complex things, and I'd like to hear actual experts talk about it, and try to get to some sort of picture of what's appropriate and what isn't; what's potentially effective versus ineffective. Bloviation about "Left-Wingery," kinda lowers the level of discourse right off the bat.

Instead of eating your daily breakfast of outrage over my calling NRO exactly what it is, why not clue us in to what you think about the recession (depression?) and the various plans offered to bridge it.

Oh, and Don, my links were to (in order): National Review, Washington Monthly, Wikipedia, Forbes, and now The Colorado Independent. If one of those sites is hosted by Firedoglake.com, I'm not aware of it.
