Rush Limbaugh, writing in the WSJ, suggests we could use economic stimulus and tax cuts. I can't believe more people aren't suggesting this, as it worked successfully for Kennedy, Reagan and Bush 43. However, Democrats would rather exercise their power and reward their followers than follow a bi-partisan plan that would actually work. Hopefully voters will remember this in 2010.

Many hate on Rush, but the man is entirely correct here, and Obama invoking him the other day only serves to underscore the reach of his influence, not diminish it.
