Robert Sameulson doesn't think the stimulus bill will do much to stimulate the economy. That is the way it seems to me, but it is pretty hard to tell what is in a 1071 page bill. Block grants to states would have been a better idea; but then, someone besides the Washington Democrats would have decided where to spend the money.
