John McCain said it well when he called the so-called stimulus bill "generational theft". Like many, I call it "spendulus". I believe history will prove that this massive increase of the public debt and expansion of the federal government to be as harmful or more so than Roosevelt's New Deal. I don't believe it will collapse our economy, as it is one of the strongest in the world, but severe harm could be done to it. It could take us years to recover. Once it does start to recover, the Democrats will no doubt harp that their plan worked, and their head-in-the-sand followers will believe them. Of course, it will be difficult to prove that the economy would have gotten better sooner without their plan, but thinking people won't seek or need any such proof. We already know the answer, as it is evident from history.
