But for the record, I do think his narrow economic point is correct. It would be better to settle for a smaller stimulus **IF** doing so created more space for other priorities. But is that true? It doesn't seem true to me. — PolitiTweet.org

Does Summers have superior insight into the congressional dynamics here? I'm skeptical. Recall that in the winter of 2008-2009 he lowballed the stimulus ask, again based on his analysis of congressional politics rather than his analysis of the economy. It didn't work out well. — PolitiTweet.org

Last thing! In principle “state and local fiscal aid” is a totally different thing from “public investment” but if you know how state budgets work in practice they are pretty similar. — PolitiTweet.org
