This 'stimulus plan' stuff, reeks of boomer generation sexual obsession, which, doubtless, is why it was so quickly agreed to. It misses the real problem and only pours gasoline on the fire. The financial system nowadays is wacky, speculative, irrational and disconnected from the actual, physical production of anything.
We do NOT need to 'stimulate' this insane system. We need to bury it.
Putting together a new system based on the FDR model, is what a good president would seek. And just as in the 1930s others--with names like Cheney,Schwartzenegger, or Bloomberg--might eschew FDR in favor of the corporatist Mussolini model or that of his mustachioed German ally.
On that account, Sen. Barry Obama's connections to the monetarists at the University of Chicago and the commodity speculators at the Chicago Board of Trade--discourage me. Mrs. Clinton's recent emphasis on defense of the 'invisible Americans' facing foreclosure or other economic catyclysm encourages me.
