It's Official

I am my mother-in-law's favorite son-in-law.

She bestowed upon me the title while she and Mrs. Bukran were shopping the other day.

Apparently brother-in-law #1 is still trying to catch up from many initial years of not speaking to my mother-in-law even though he lived here as a newlywed.

Brother-in-law #2 had plenty to say to her when he lived here, but it was generally technobabble.

Both now live on the other end of the country.

So with my listening ear and geographic proximity, I win.

Victory!

Buckran,
your mission, should you choose to accept it, is a post on the new economic stimulus package.

As far as I can tell, it is based on the theory that government must spend massive amounts of money to jump start the economy because the private sector won't.
Now, how is that different than W. spending unprecedented amounts of money which doubled our national debt?

How much different is this new spending?
