Can't find the link at the moment, but saw a Mike Allen thingy which I'll take with a couple of grains of salt because it seemed to be a mix of things he heard and overinterpretation of those things. That is, I couldn't quite tell what to actually attribute to people in the administration. But, in any case, one bit of it was that the administration thinks they can't get any stimulus out of Congress except the small and not especially helpful small business help bill.
Maybe this is true. And maybe the people in the White House know a lot more about how the Village works than I do. But I don't get the allergy to getting on the teevee every day and saying "this is what we need to do" while daring Congress to do it. You may not get it done, but at least people would have a sense of a) what you want to do and b) why it isn't happening. Maybe you could actually blame Republicans!
Oh well, I guess we can wait for the catfood commission to stick it to poor old people.
