If a conservative administration were about to propose one of the largest spending programs for any government at any time, you'd could bet that the AEI would be out with an "advance" proposal.
Some voracious overseer, like Danielle Pletka, would be convening a panel to dream up ways to make it all seem conceptually clever. Spiro Agnew's ghost, Dick Cheney, would be giving a provocative speech, to drum up the hackles of the "liberal media"...er, free thinking citizens, to get all kinds of free press for the ideas.
So, where is the liberal-progressive "advance" copy, in detail, of what a far-ranging stimulus ought to include and why?
Dunno, but this is all that seems to make its way into the popular press. That's not called 'controlling the news cycle', is it? Anyway, there is still time.
