re wistful attempts to defend the stimulus plan:
"... Pascal's wager would not be much help if by choosing to believe in God you increased the likelihood that Satan might be especially motivated to hunt you down and devour your soul - in that spirit Clark does not address argument that over the long haul the stimulus can do more harm than good, his assumptions are all akin to saying not much to lose should stimulus prove ineffective so why not give it a try, a logic that like Pascal's makes the mistake of assuming Satan to be a neutral player..."
