Economy Obama's stimulus worked
Posted by Max Brantley on Wed, Feb 29, 2012 at 10:25 AM
Recommended reading in New York Times. The evidence mounts that the Obama stimulus package helped the U.S. economy. That hasn't stopped Republican howling, of course.

I'm still a Krugmanite. The failing was not enough stimulus.
