There is so much political rhetoric centered stopping the recession before it gets worse. There is no consideration given to allowing the situation correct itself. Prices of all kinds (stocks, homes and some goods) are in need of a correction. Pumping more borrowed money into these pet projects does not seem like a prudent course of action.

There will be some good infrastructure sort of projects that I am in favor of but I fear they are the minority of the bill.

And the worst part in my opinion is that since it has been passed so quickly, if it does not succeed, it will framed as yet another failure of the Bush Administration’s handling of the economy. The “fixing” of the economy has become so political that appearing to help “Main Street” seems to be better than preparing for a longer term economic comeback.

I fear that we are using debt to fix our debt problem.

I too, hope I am wrong.
