Another Stimulus Thought

"Here's my advice to Democratic politicians, from the president on down: On a priority basis, direct money to stem cell research devoted to growing yourselves new spines, and perhaps new brains. It is abundantly clear to the majority of Americans not within the beltway that most Republican politicians continue to range from partisan obstructionist to outright greedy. For Democrats to dilute desperately-needed progressive proposals in the hopes of attracting substantial Republican support is an exercise in futility that if continued will further damage this country --- and cost Democrats dearly at the next election."
