As bad as it sounds, sometimes it is best to do nothing, than to do the wrong thing in haste.
I would counter, that others are risking their own money. the Gubment is risking our money. Big difference---and the stimulus package was sold as a plan to create jobs, not pay our big bonuses to the very people that helped get us in this mess.
Risk that needs taking---Lets look at that a moment. the Gubment produces nothing, but debt. None of the big dogs in office have any experience in the private sector, so have zero experience making a profit anywhere. So with that information alone, are these the guys we want coming up with plans to save our economy? Seems like a positive outcome, is unlikely at best.
Not being an expert on the matter, I can't say for sure. but it just seems --"misplaced" Like, good intentions, but a poor way of going about it. Jobs, and Production of goods, to me, should be job one. all the rest can come once people can keep their homes, their lights on, and food on the table. People think clearer, with a full stomach. But as I say, I have to think about these issues in the simplest of terms. I'm no economist.
