When I look at it I see a stimulus plan that is in so many ways a split of the difference(s).

I really think that it is neither small nor large, tax cut nor spending, green nor brown … but a straddle of all those things.

(If you think it looks big, just compare it to the national and international bailout totals.)

If I were a Republican strategist, I would be pointing out how convenient it is for Democrats to have failed to mention the importance of perhaps unattainable global coordination when pushing through their plan.

This is why you're not a strategist. The strategic political response would be to point out that, due to globalization, much of the stimulus dollars will be the USA going into debt in order to benefit and bail out foreigners, particularly if other countries don't go along.

Of course, the inevitable result of that will be restrictions like the one in the stimulus bill banning H1-B visa employees for financial institutions receiving TARP funds.
