It’s all starting to come together.

Barry’s got a good summation of pithy, meaty posts from other people about the hows and the whys of the Bush “stimulus” package; Atrios types up a revealing table from the New York Times of who will save how much—but it’s Ted Barlow who points out what will, perhaps, prove the most chilling of unintended consequences. At least, I’m hoping it’s unintended. It’s easy enough to believe this White House is utterly unaware of the snarling, snapping wolves at the doors of about 50 statehouses and countless counties and cities and other municipalities. Right? —The alternative is that Wile E. Coyote’s in charge. Which, come to think of it, would be an improvement.
