Smith on the progress of the "Stimulus" Package



"...the only "stimulus" that has been mentioned by the government seems to be about big banks and companies getting billions of dollars of "bailout" money. What is going on?"


Dear friends,

Throughout the recent presidential campaign and all the way up to the inauguration we heard about part of the new administration's "Stimulus Package". Supposedly, it would involve a massive employment projecct for "infrastructural improvement" like repairing roads and fixing old bridges.

Yet, the only "stimulus" that has been mentioned by the government seems to be about big banks and companies getting billions of dollars of "bailout" money. What is going on?

Fortunately, on the link below, the incomparable Elmer Smith of the Philadelphia Daily News provides us with some clarity.

Cheers!
