http://gloomtoboom.blogspot.com/2009/05/finally-fuel-efficiency-standards-take.html

And that’s ok. Call it the Long-Term Investment Plan of 2009. Or call it the State Safety Net. Better yet, how about the We’re Democrats, We’re In Control Plan. I'm still processing all these moving parts. If you're also processing, check out some of these great resources:. NY Times economic stimulus guide.
