The D.C. snowstorm is helping America:

With snow quickly accumulating around the Capitol again Tuesday night, Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the majority leader, gave up on his hope of advancing a jobs-creating bill by the end of this week.

Maybe I should wish for an additional 10–12 inches each week until spring.

This is of course not a “jobs-creating bill.” It’s a spending bill like last year’s so-called stimulus. By the way, I’d love to see the NYT — just once! — refer to a Democratic legislative priority such as cap and trade as a “jobs-destroying bill.”
