CORNYN: HERE'S THE BLUEPRINT FOR A REAL STIMULUS
On Monday, President Barack Obama argued that we cannot rely on the same strategies that got our economy into this crisis to get us out of it. I agree. I voted against the economic stimulus bill as it moved through Congress – and will vote against the final bill today – because I believe it replicates a failed strategy. A stimulus bill is a good idea if it's focused on the right priorities, which was Obama's original vision. The administration said it wanted a bill that was timely, targeted and temporary. If the bill had reflected that spirit, the president's goal of 80 votes in the Senate might well have been in reach. But we never saw the bill the president said he wanted. Democrats in Congress redefined "stimulus" to mean nearly anything any of them desired, with predictable results.
