The Worse the Numbers, the Bigger the Stimulus

You've got your ammunition.
Shoot away.
Here's the deal, actually a number.
Actually, a series of numbers.
524,000.
2.6 million.
And 7.2%.
The number of jobs lost last month.
The number of jobs lost last year.
And the unemployment rate right now.
All forming the perfect storm right now.
And the perfect opportunity for the president-elect to say we've got to do something big right now.
Maybe a trillion dollars big.
That seems to be the new "minimum" stimulus figure they're bouncing around in this Capitol right now.
Because the worse these numbers get, the bigger these rescue numbers get.
And the more power Barack Obama wields.
...among fellow Democrats, who whine about some of his proposed tax credits...think John Kerry.
...and Republicans who whine about all that spending...think John McCain.
First, hear me out on this:
Barack Obama is going to get everything, and then some, he wants.
Not because he isn't a gifted salesman and strategist.
But because with these kind of economic numbers, he doesn't have to be.
"Fate" has just made him FDR.
Now it's up to history to see if he "is."
