Obama's Economic Fix

Most people, I think, want an economic fix, but are not sure this one is the best way to go. The tone of this administration was revealed when they came in with the words of incoming White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste."
This crisis is presenting an oportunity to craft a "stimulus" bill that will have good parts and not so good parts that in effect set the framework for the socialist programs Obama and Co. want to implement without having to sell them all at once.
There is too much money spent on things that don't seem to address the immediate needs of stimulating the economy now.
The approach is "don't worry, the government knows best" and that's not reassuring to most of us.
