Another Stimulus

Just wait now. This is a result of the ‘compromise’ on the tax cut issue and the 99ers (soon to be renamed).

From the article:

The amount of money pumped into the ailing economy: about $900 billion over years.

Subtract the $400 billion cost of the Bush tax cuts. Subtract another $140 billion or so, which is the cost of extending the Alternative Minimum Tax patch (and almost certainly would have happened regardless). You’re then left with more than $300 billion in net stimulus over two years.
