Stein vs. Cavuto

(H/t to digby, of course)

Here's a rather surprising exchange between two avowed conservatives (well, okay an avowed conservative and Neil Cavuto, who merely plays one on tv) over what kind of bailout needs to be done.



Stein (who, yes I realize can be comically wrong in print) is advocating for a full blown, massive stimulus package - and is willing to shout down Cavuto to do it.

Stein: We need to bail out the auto companies, we need to have a massive stimulus package. This economy is about to fall off a cliff.

Cavuto: Going the other way and spending like crazy will somehow get us over the guilt that stems from [not intervening in] the [great] depression?

Stein: It's not guilt. It's keeping people alive, Neil.

Watching Stein's and listening to the urgency in his voice makes me think he's spent the last few days staring into the abyss. He's freaking out.
