RedState: Conservative News and Community —
This is a time of great opportunity for conservatives. Americans are beginning to render a verdict on the ’stimulus,’ the economy, and the Obama administration’s approach. The nation continues to shed jobs, and unemployment shows no signs of leveling off any time soon. The American people are growing more and more concerned about the deficit. And the Obama administration seems split on whether another ’stimulus’ is needed, or whether Barack Obama wouldn’t do a single thing differently.
For conservatives, the time is right to ...

Claire McCaskill is against a second stimulus
AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth —
Obama said today that a second stimulus bill isn't needed. Krugman disagrees with him. And other administration officials have been hinting that a second stimulus will be needed (which is awfully confusing, considering what Obama said today, and what Joe Biden said last week). As Ben notes, it's going to be an uphill climb selling the country on a second stimulus bill, in my view because the administration hasn't made much of an effort to defend the first bill, until now. ...
