The only thing we have to fear

George Will leads from the center.

Runaway Stimulus

My favorite line:

"The president, convinced that the only thing America has to fear is an insufficiency of fear, has warned that 'disaster' and 'catastrophe' are the certain alternatives to swift passage of the stimulus legislation. One marvels at his certitude more than one envies his custody of this adventure."

Ironic, huh? The party of Franklin Roosevelt can now only speak of how afraid America needs to be.

It's pathetic, is what it is. But it's the bread and butter of people who have run out of better ideas.

Hope and change, indeed.
