STIMULUS? More like a sedative. “This is not another Great Depression, at least not yet, and the economy may recover on its own, if the government will let it. But Obama today, like FDR in the 1930s, cannot leave the economy alone. Both have felt a need to come up with one bright idea after another, to ‘do something’."

I’m reminded by a song introduction many years ago by Paul Stookey of Peter, Paul, and Mary: “You’re really, really going to want to sing along. Please ... don’t.”

The same applies to Congress and the Obama adminintration. You’re really, really going to want to do something about this recession. Please don’t.
