If McCain had to blow a trillion, he probably would have chosen tax cuts which may or may not have had the same effect.<br /><br />Second, I Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15911276942829790135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053585.post-24030312842029764352010-08-18T17:16:03.506-04:002010-08-18T17:16:03.506-04:00Eric, a serious question gets a serious response, ...Eric, a serious question gets a serious response, every time.<br /><br />I agree with you.

Smaller stimulus, less commitment to Afghanistan, more tax cuts, snazzier rhetoric? Surely he wouldn't have ensnared himself in health care reform, but <i>so far</i> that has cost only time and energy, not money.
