The first is something we'd never done before....the second is something that has worked in the past.

Opening the credit markets is much more important.
They are two totally different things. Doesn't make one good and one bad. The "stimulus" plan is filled with tons of pork. STD programs, anti-smoking programs, etc. I'd be fine with a stimulus package that didn't include the pork. But Dems showed their true colors on this one and showed the American people they are just like the Republicans. Out for themselves and their little friends.
