I see a lot of people claiming that the stimulus won't work. Or in other words, throwing money at this problem won't solve it. I really have no clue one way or another. What I do know is that we are up ****'s creek. Are we without a paddle? I dunno. What I do know is that the stimulus plan is at least an attempt. Bush's plan wasn't good for obvious reasons (no accountability, definitely going to the wrong places). At least Obama's plan seems slightly more focused on getting G.I. American Citizen out of the trenches and back on their feet.
What I don't see is an alternate plan. Everyone is doomsaying the stimulus plan but nobody is offering a better solution other than hindsight wisdom. But it's too late to say "This is what we should have done."
The whole situation sucks... Everyone wants it to get better, nobody likes the solutions presented, and nobody is looking anywhere but toward the government for a fix. At least we got our free Grand Slam...

DOING SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN DOING NOTHING
