		<P>Matthew Yglesias says most of what needs to be said <A href="http://yglesias.thinkprogress.org/archives/2009/02/a_flawed_stimulus_is_better_than_no_stimulus.php">here</A>. Yesterday Claire McCaskill and others were talking about how great the centrists’ intervention was. Today Sen. McCaskill asks whether the Senate stimulus, as negotiated, is better than nothing.</p> <P>Yes, it is — and if it comes down to that choices, a yes vote is the right thing to do. </p> <P>But let’s not have any illusions about what just happened. The centrists went to work on a bill that, perhaps inevitably, was a mixture of economic muscle and useless fat; as the price of their support, they cut deeply into the muscle while leaving all the fat in place.</p> </DIV>
