  • Obama's Infrastructure Rally: Take a Swig of Kool Aid [View article]
    "Out of curiosity - If the American consumer accounts for roughly 70% of GDP, and I'm assuming the government (which is already huge and debt ridden) is the other 30%, how big would Obama's plans have to be to pick up the slack from the consumer? " - robert nabloid

    My guess is 5% of gdp or $700 billion. this much is already on the table. but what i don't get is what do you do after that. nothing seems aimed at the 70% to repair. it is almost like they are buying time hoping for a solution later. we are crippling future with this debt.
