We're headed for rougher times, and I'm not advocating doing nothing, but the record of Keynsian tactics or even Supply Side remedies being used as quick fixes for sick economies is spotty at best. People don't want to admit that it took almost 20 years to get out of the Great Depression, so believe me when I say that I wish the President well, but I have my doubts.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
The thing is Rok, I think most economists agree with you. Things are far too gone for a quick fix. The stimulus won't "fix" anything, but it might help avert a depression. I think even Obama would agree with that.

I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
