As your reader's have explained. Shopping is as much the problem as the "solution".
Obama is going to have to "pull the curtain back" because just pumping money into this dysfunctional economy ain't going to stem the pain. The Feds sending money to local governments and others without a clear plan on how best to spend it (sustainable transportation, sustainable agriculture, appropriate education for future jobs, maintaining social order, etc.) is a TALL task that will require straight talk and enormous luck. (The former being a national fear while the latter is considered our national right.)
We really are between a rock and a hard place. This will certainly thicken the plot, dear reader.
Cheers.
