Hard to know where to stand on this one. The so-called stimulus is a disaster. The idea of standing 100% against it is what I believe is the right thing to do but the left will ram it through anyhow, viewing the 'no stimulus' PoV as sharply partisan. So, offer an alternative that is half the cost....it still goes against your values but if they can pick off enough moderate democrats and pass it, its better than the bloated, stinking thing that's sitting there now.
Of course, that isn't going to happen and any GOP alternative plan has a snowball's chance in hell of passing. So....I'm thinking the Maverick is just throwing stuff out there to save face, an object lesson in "look, see we tried to compromise" --playing legislative chicken, in other words. Pelosi/Reid/Obama aren't going to blink.
