Dear Michael D. Barret,

Attaching "biking interests" is a long stretch as a reason to promote "progressive socialistic economic stimulation"--New Deal Style.  As your comment of somehow making Herbert Hoover relevant,  I might add that FDR WOULD  be proud.  But fortunately, House Republicans are holding out so far.  I don't have any faith in them though, except for Congressman Ron Paul of Texas.  This just in from the boys at MoveOn who are now apoplectic:  So, on your topic----------

Eric

"Dear MoveOn member,

Did you see how many Republicans voted for President Obama's stimulus package in the House yesterday?

None. Seriously, not a single one.1

Americans voted overwhelmingly for change in November. We voted for an end to the partisan bickering and political games that are destroying our politics. And President Obama bent over backwards to get House Republicans to craft a bipartisan bill, to no avail.

As the bill moves to the Senate, we need bipartisan support, or the stimulus won't pass. Senate Republicans need to know they have a clear choice: support a stimulus package that will put millions of Americans back to work, or continue to play the games that got us into this mess."

Have you written your Congressperson yet? How about your alder?

Appended below is a really good article that captures the flaws in the stimulus bill. But I'd like to highlight this paragraph:

"In the current system, the federal government sends money to states without any
real effort to evaluate whether it will pay for worthy projects. States rarely
do serious analyses of their own. They build new roads before fixing old ones.
They don't consider whether those new roads will lead to faster traffic or
simply more traffic....In the world of infrastructure, cost-
benefit analysis is still a science of the future."
