It's hard for me to disagree with the sentiments in this post about the stimulus bill. (h/t Instapundit)
But maybe I'm just insufficiently aware of the counter arguments.
Anyone willing to defend it reasonably, or to point me to a link to someone who will?
(I went googling around, specifically looking for a list of the 11 Democrats who voted no, and got a few places, but the discussion in the comboxes isn't heavy on what I would call a defense of the bill as passed, rather than an argument about how we got into a place where we supposedly needed a stimulus, e.g. here. I am not saying that is representative of stimulus-bill supporters, and am hoping to see something better.)
Jon Stewart (Daily Show) pointed out that it was $2500 for every person in America and then highlighted a $2498 silk dress from a high-end department store that we could all buy.
