(I don't agree with everything Krugman says about some of the services cut being integral to the stimulus' value to the economy, but he makes good points about the house-sale tax credits and a lot of other things. He's opinionated and has a political as well as an economic agenda, but he's still brilliant...)

Gary Becker (famous conservative Chicago economist and former Nobel laureate) and Kevin Murphy (Chicago economist) on understanding the stimulus:
