argues that we need a second economic stimulus package,
echoing a suggestion that Warren Buffett had. If President
Obama were to push for another stimulus bill, it would be a tacit
admission on the part of his administration that the first
stimulus was a failure. It would would also interfere with his
push for health care legislation. So it isn't surprising to see
that thus far, the White House has adopted
the line that most of the stimulus money hasn't been deployed
yet, while remaining open to revisiting the stimulus down the
road.
