Who's Federal Budget is right???

Realistically, only time will tell. Even then, we'll only know if the current plan "worked," not whether it's better/worse than this GOP plan.
There's a lot at stake here. In 1931, the Fed took a pretty run of the mill recession and made it into the Great Depression. That said, there are a lot of exogenous factors at work here that Summers and Friends have no control over (i.e. foreign holdings).

The whole article and that's all you comment on?
Yes.
I have a little trouble taking someone seriously when they show a gross lack of attention to their spelling. They aren't updating their myspace status, the Republicans are supposedly offering a real alternative to the budget proposed by the President. This is the cover letter to their resume, show me you respect my intelligence by typing something precise and professional.

I happen to agree, and I also happen to be a staunch "conservative" economically.
BUT
Just because you can produce a document with both gross spelling errors and merit doesn't mean you should. Additionally, we aren't discussing a failure to be perfect. These errors are atrocious.
Not spell checking a document that will be read by millions (or illions if you write for the GOP) is unforgivable.
Special attention should be paid to everything. If they can miss the "m" in "millions," or throw a random "s" in "obtain" without catching it, then they can just as easily be off by a factor of ten or more in any single calculation that drove the thinking behind the booklet. Details matter, so you can't tell me that they were only careless in their grammar and spelling.

To be fair I blundered into copyright infringement in my rush to point out multiple typos.
I think that's a fair and important point.
Doesn't the majority of the stimulus plan's spending begin in 2010 and 2011...?

Yeah, I "blundered" too… and it cost me an infraction.
It was only a yellow card and it goes away (doesn't impact your rep like a red card).
