Senator Scott Brown’s contact web page<\/a><\/strong> to inform him of what I told Senator Kerry.<\/p>\nThink of this analogy. When you take anti-biotics to kill an infection, the doctor tells you to take the full dose even if the infection seems to go away before the dose is complete. If you don’t do that, you run the risk of leaving behind the bacteria that were able to survive the initial dose of anti-biotic.\u00a0 Not only have you left survivors, but you have killed off the bacteria with which they used to have to compete.\u00a0 Now the remnants are free to multiply and mutate without the control of the bacteria you did manage to kill off.\u00a0 These survivors of the initial dose are the most likely to mutate into a strain that can survive even the strongest and most prolonged dose of that particular anti-biotic, making that anti-biotic useless in the future.\u00a0 This is the history of the continuing need to come up with new anti-biotics.<\/p>\n
If we allow the country to go on an incomplete dose of economic stimulus, what will be left in the aftermath may be worse than had we applied no stimulus at all.\u00a0 We might have a depression so bad and a political climate so mutated that no attempt to fix the problem with Keynesian stimulus will work.\u00a0 If the Democrats just walk away from the deal and make no attempt to fix the problem, we might be able to fix it later with an economy and political climate that has not grown resistant to Keynesian stimulus.<\/p>\n
I’ll let my doctor cousins tell me if I am off base on this analogy.\u00a0 Would Obama without his inadequate program be following the Hippocratic oath to first do no harm?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
