You seriously advocate that no stimulus was necessary? Economists both left and right would disagree, one year on. Mind you, I felt that both TARP and the stimulus were utterly repulsive, but unfortunately necessary.
I agree completely. The stimulus, plus your 400-500 million should have been directed towards a tax cut or holiday.
