Matt Yglesias points out the inconsistency in Republican opponents of the stimulus bill claiming:

we can’t afford large new temporary deficit spending but can afford large new permanent tax cuts.

And then Yglesias points to "a Republican worth listening to," Rep. John L. Mica.

It's the fair-mindedness that keeps me reading Yglesias's stuff.
