More foolishness in Beltway Bubble Land

It is pretty horrible to watch the Senate pontificate and see the so called moderates try to cut the size of the bill down. Many economist, including Paul Krugman, are not only saying that the economic situation is dire, but that the bill is too small, and yet people in Bubble Land are trying to cut out things they deem unworthy, like Head Start, aid to states for Special Education, money for Amtrak, aid to states to fund teachers, policemen and firefighters, and more. Have any of them spoken to the governors of their state's lately? I think not. Ben Nelson of NE and the faintly creepy Evan Bayh are part of this group, and I am sure that the dreaded Lieberman will soon be raising his sanctimonious head. This is the time for arm twisting on the part of the Democratic leadership and tell them, Come on folks, stop thinking you actually have ideas and fall in line.
