    Fools inject capital into large, deep holes with no bottom.

    Call me economically, proficiently uneducated, but why couldn't we have as some experts suggested (like Roubini-sp?)invest this expenditure into infrastructure/green collar development/job creation. What greater benefit to our economy- energy independence with job creation and education/skills as a side effect. I fear too-large a portion will pilfer away never to be recovered or traced. After all, look how banks operate. They scrape off the topsoil and leave the customer with only clay and pebble.
