The question is what is the best way to re-start normal economic activity so the economic forces will keep it going. The current economic crisis has at least two obvious causes. Neither is completely W's fault but he was responsible for NOT preventing both. 1) An unnecessary war. 2) Lack of oversight and regulation of financial operations. Remember; Economics is not a "hard science" like physics where nature always follows the same rules and you can do experiments. There are at least two basic and somewhat contradictory ideas: 1) The government is bad and should stay out of the way of "free enterprise". Also called "laissie faire" (sp) and summarized as "Every man for himself, and the Devil take the hindmost". 2) Society, through the government, makes rules and regulations that are supposed to provide for the common good even if some (usually the wealthy and powerful) are inconvenienced, and restrained. 3) Other approaches would include Theocracies like the Taliban enforcing their version of "God's Law" or true Communism, both of which have obvious faults. The very meaning of "wealth" is tricky to define. Are you wealthy if you own the biggest diamond in the world? What if you own the biggest rock? Why? What is your recommendation to make things better? Good points. The question is what is the best way to re-start normal economic activity so the economic forces will keep it going.

Why?

Trillion bush spent on Iraq was wasted. money sent overseas to people (arabs) who don't even like Americans. I can see from your partial list that the Obama money is going to stay in the U.S. thats why its called a stimulus. ----------------- to be 100% honest I took an economics 101 class over 20 years ago and I cant explain anything the damn "experts" tell us. the (4?)

Obama is spending to repair which I don`t think will work, you can`t fix the Republicans from giving our industrial might to China overnight. When Bush spent it was not a repair, it was a digression.

Obama wants to use the money and create jobs in the US. Big difference. $6 million to renovate a beach is $6 million in the pockets of unemployed Americans. Bush exported money and jobs.
