Many people aren't going to research the stimulus bill line by line. They hear "stimulus" and "create jobs" and that's good enough for them. So there is this disconnect between those "in the know" and those "not in the know". Most of the folks down here I encounter just want some help, be it stimulus bill or not.

Here in NEOhio, where we know we're heading to double digit unemployment, I really don't know that the PTA would reflect the same sentiments. While none of us (well, no one I know), really WANTS this bill, the hurting is just awful here. T-Steel – I think those comments also reflect the region.

He was making the point that the fearmongering atmosphere is a problem, and although you can't tell from this one post, it's not as though he's actually arguing that the problems are only psychological.
