@speechboy71 THanks for the condescension again. You're clearly NOT engaging bc you seem unwilling to think out of a static box.
@speechboy71 It's central to your point. It has to be. Otherwise, no reason not to call GOP bluff in 2010 when costs are lower.

@emptywheel Third, I've said repeatedly that not getting stimulus would have contracted economy - other than than you've nailed it. -
@speechboy71 But your notion is after O doesn't cave to GOP in 2010 ... nothing happens. Even while assuming something will happen now. -
@emptywheel@speechboy71 Marcy, he's really not saying if no deal in 2010 nothing happens, he's saying it would have been far worse -
@DanaHoule But his assumption is that that far worse would have been tolerated.

@emptywheel First or all as I said, costs war higher then. Second, BHO has leverage now - he didn't then. -
@speechboy71 I disagree on both counts. -
@emptywheel Well that's simply wrong - the economy was clearly in worse shape 2 years ago. -
@speechboy71 Yes, it was. But the PEOPLE relying on the stimulus were not.
