Note: this is a little off-topic in terms of marketing, but I think still relevant. 

The problem with Obama’s latest stimulus package is that it’s trying to do too much. In his post on WhiteHouse.gov, Obama explains that . . .  .

“{Americans} want us to put together a recovery package that puts people back to work, that creates investments that assure our long-term energy independence, an effective health care system, an education system that works; they want our infrastructure rebuilt, and they want it done wisely, so that we’re not wasting taxpayer money.”

Actually, I think all we’re really concerned with right now is the getting people back to work part, and then getting our 401k’s back on track. Yeah, we’d like to do all of that other stuff about energy and education, but the situation right now calls for a focused solution that can ellicit healthy results now without damaging our future. 

The rest can wait. 

By the way, if the idea is to use this $800 billion to stimulate our economy and get people spending money, why doesn’t the government just send us all a Visa Gift Card. That way we can’t save or cash it; we have to spend it.
