BobKrumm.com » Proving Reagan wrong: "“Why are they doing all this when they have to know that it isn’t going to work?” was the question my wife asked about the stimulus package. My answer to her: “It’s not about fixing the economy; it’s about proving Reagan wrong.” It’s about proving that an enlightened government is superior to a country led by tens of millions of individual sovereign decision makers."

That's an original perspective. It would take a committed ideologue to do what Krumm says the Obama administration is doing. A pragmatist would just try whatever worked last time, and would change tactics immediately if the first approach didn't work. An ideologue would just keep doing the "right" thing even though it wasn't working.
