The New York Times headline reads: "New Consensus Sees Stimulus Package as Worthy Step." One then reads in the article:

President Obama has announced that he will hold a “jobs summit” in December. The pollsters are probably telling him he needs to address what most Americans see as the first priorities, jobs and the economy. This summit reminds me of nothing so much as Jerry Ford’s laughable and utterly [...]
On the NewsHour the moderator just said "new taxes slows down the economy at a time when people are hurting." This is in a discussion of how to fix state budgets. The panelist responds, "That's exactly right."
