Hmm… why would anyone freak out over the idea of a few more tens of billions thrown away in the name of another “stimulus” package, seeing how well the previous trillions did? Oh, and did we mention the plan also eliminates the debt ceiling?
The point Politico’s Marty Kady is making is simple enough; both Congress and the White House are offering up their opening bids in what will be an ongoing negotiation.
@BDayspring Larger point is that nobody should take first offers seriously. It's like the sticker price in the car dealership.

Yeah, but that sticker price! That’s like being told the dealership wants $41,000 for a Chevy Volt. It’s also a clear sign that the White House is sticking to its plan to tax and spend the nation into prosperity … or the ground.

To me the most interesting part of the Geithner offer is the $50 billion in new stimulus in FY13. I suspect that got #GOP blood boiling

Yes, it did.
Obama called for $50 Billion in NEW SPENDING, people. He really doesn't want a deal done at all. #tcot #p2

@CNBC WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Dems are officially crazy and we are about to go off CLIFF…. anyone have a parachute, hang glider?

I can't believe Obama had the balls to propose ANOTHER stimulus. It's time to walk away and let it all fall down. #tcot

That $50bln dollars Obama is requesting? Yeah, that is just the first year's spending in a multi-year stimulus program.
