Paul Krugman, not always my favorite knee-jerk liberal, gets it right: Mitch McConnell spent $900 billion to elect two Republican senators from Georgia, but once the election’s decided, won’t spend a dime to help 300+ million Americans, because economic stimulus only makes sense when a Republican president is in office. Politico, to its discredit, weighs in with a cutesy, behind the scenes piece, “Feuds, Zoom and Italian food: How the stimulus got done”, telling us how Uncle Mitch, seriously the biggest bitch in all of politics, gave America a big, fat Christmas present. Yo, Politicos! You’re supposed to cover the news, not conceal it! Next time, try harder!
