First off, you cant take anything that slate article said seriously when they were wrong in just that little snippit you put out.. The Spendulous was supposed to save the country from 8% unemployment, not 10%. And it was a total failure.
Plenty of economists - including McCain's chief campaign economist - think the stimulus worked just fine, doing exactly what it was supposed to, and causing us to stay out of a depression.

Far from "a total failure" in the opinion of many. Thinking of it, I've never seen any economist publically call it a "total failure" - do you know of one? Or is that just your personal opinion?
