Thank you for historical perspective.
You know, I have actually been hearing a lot of experts saying the same thing about giving the incentives to business as a smart solution. Of course, most of these are business people, but nonetheless very smart business people who have taken ailing companies and turned them around. In fact, one of my old bosses used to tell me that in business, research (and jobs) followed the money. He had been an executive with Northrup Grumman and came into the govt as a public service. Lasted about 3 years, got disgusted and left again. It can be very disheartening trying to change things in the government.
There are a dozen things about the stimulus packages that bother me. And I have a sort of sinking feeling about them mostly because it is not real clear to me how some components are actually going to stimulate the economy. The government job thing I think is okay if it is adding law enforcement positions, but it's hardly going to save the economy.
I'm disgusted with the Congress. No leadership. Obama's trying to charm them, but he's wasting his time. They'll enjoy his hospitality and do what they want to anyway.
