Big surprise. Their stimulus program (you know, the one where the money actually gets spent, doesn't get nickel and dimed by obstructionist Republicans, or used to cover already existing state debts) appears to be working. Our "new deal", on the other hand, looks like a prolapsed bowel. Ha, the GOP can not only take credit for the long-term crisis by championing the "free-market" fundamentalism that caused it but we'll also be able to look back to them for refusing to fix it! "Quick--where's the Mexicans/commies/terrerists we can blame all this shit on?"
