Understimulated?

Drudge is promoting Warren Buffet’s comment that the stimulus package was like a combination of candy and half a tablet of Viagara, but I’m not sure Drudge has read the entire story - because if he had, he would realize that Buffett is saying that a second stimulus might be needed:

“I think a second one may well be called for. It is not a panacea. A stimulus is the right thing. You hope it doesn’t get watered down,” he said.

He likened the first $787 billion stimulus package passed by Congress to “half a tablet of Viagra and then having also a bunch of candy mixed in — it doesn’t have really quite the wallop.”

Conservatives like Drudge aren’t really calling for a bigger stimulus, are they? Or is Drudge simply bashing Obama with whatever club happens to be at hand, no matter how ideologically inconsistent it might be?

The more these idiots tamper with the economy the worse it will get. I'm just waiting for the initial bank stimulus to get spent. Can we scream hyperinflation? Better stock up on your neccessities for up to half a year. This crap they are doing is wholly unsustainable.
