   As the White House again fills with Clintonistas, we're going to see
   another vestige of the Clinton Administration fairly soon - the payoff
   to the big city mayors.
   Remember the Emergency Stimulus Bill of 1993? When we found that we
   were already coming out of a mild recession aka the "worst economy in
   the last fifty years" the bill stalled. Soon, President Clinton was
   back, again bearing gifts to the major cities as part of his Crime
   Bill. Remember those 100,000 new cops?
   We'll see the same in 2009, though this time we'll also see state
   governments and public pension funds making a play.
