Emergency, what Emergency

A link via Instapundit echoing what I said earlier, Stephen Green: Caracas on the Potomac:

Sadly, no. Porkulus was never about juicing the economy. It’s about baselining massive new government spending under the guise of an “emergency.” Well, the emergency is nearly over, yet the spending has barely begun. Strangely enough, that seems to be all according to plan, says Vice President Joe Biden. “We’re 85 days into a two-year program here — we’re trying to get the money out as quickly as we can, but not too quickly, so we don’t end up really screwing up here.”

My emphasis, read it all, the ending isn't any better.
