2009 Obama Stimulus Package

[politicallefty]

Too loaded down with tax cuts. Needed more spending, but otherwise better than nothing.

^This. Christina Romer's original $1.8 trillion stimulus plan would have been much better. If there was ever a more urgent time to go big and ambitious, it was then. The President had considerable capital and big majorities in Congress at the time. Unfortunately, too many were in positions of importance that didn't value what a robust stimulus would do for the economy.
