Obama's Economic Stimulus Speech 2/5/09
As I was driving home today I had a chance to hear President Obama's speech on the economy (thanks NPR). Regardless of what you think about the actual plan, I think that this speech addresses some of these issues in a very pragmatic way. The fact of the matter is the economy is completely fucked. Since we did not let the market correct itself back in October (we should have let the banks fail), we have to spend more money to attempt to fix the problem. For the most part we can all agree that the first economic bullshit package didn't do much (hell we don't even know where most of that money went in the TARP fund, it sure didn't go to small businesses, or porn). Anyway, if you happened to miss the speech I found it broken into two parts... Enjoy. Hopefully I will be able to find a transcription of it tomorrow.
