Then I made the mistake of thinking about your scenario a little more and wondered how many people are throwing the concrete block at, rather than just to, the drowning person.  *sigh*

Re:  "The stimulus plan, oy my aching head." 

I  must not get it, as I read it, the more I read about this whole picture, I have a different view. I see people covering each other's back, way, way too closely. This is only an observation on the subject, nothing experiential involved.

They are doing something in the same fashion that throwing a concrete block to a drowning person is doing something.]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/02/the_stimulus_pl.html#comment-84110 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/02/the_stimulus_pl.html#comment-84110 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 10:46:11 -0600 ]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/02/the_stimulus_pl.html#comment-84109 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/02/the_stimulus_pl.html#comment-84109 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 10:19:46 -0600
I suspect this would be a hugely difficult thing to pull off.  Not just the egos, but the political egos would be a bitch to manage.

If something like it were to happen (and I think it may well *be* happening in the financial and manufacturing sectors, though I have no visibility of same) it would be fun to be involved in.]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/02/the_stimulus_pl.html#comment-84108 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/02/the_stimulus_pl.html#comment-84108 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 09:39:26 -0600 ]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/02/the_stimulus_pl.html#comment-84107 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/02/the_stimulus_pl.html#comment-84107 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 09:18:36 -0600
