The Economic Stimulus Package, Part III

You can go here and here for my first two arguments against any governmental transfers to "fix the economy." But I've been thinking, maybe a stimulus package isn't all bad. One assumption I have is that for the last 200 years (since the industrial revolution) life have been consistently getting better. So maybe politicians aren't stimulating votes, but are instead creating a "temporal progressive tax" (patent pending). Taxing the rich, future generations, to the benefit of the poor, us. It may not be a free lunch, but it is a borrowed one.
