i thought the whole thing sounded quite well thought out, he talked a lot about creating jobs by investing in capital works, to create employment.
if you read the link, the stimulus package is outlined
The package is expected to include tax cuts for businesses and middle-class workers, money to help cash-starved states with Medicaid programs
and other operating costs, and a huge share for infrastructure building, investments in energy efficiency and a rebuilding of the information
technology system for health care. Much of the latter portions of the plan are aimed at what Obama likes to talk about as the need for
"reinvestment" and not just "recovery."
it doesn't look entirely like the bail-out you guys are imagining, sounds like the basis of a good plan to me.
EDIT: and this doesn't look to bad an idea either, it's in the last two paragraphs
Obama also promised action to address the economy's ills beyond the package, such as tackling the massive wave of home foreclosures many
experts expect, preventing the failure of financial institutions, rewriting financial regulations and keeping accountable the "Wall Street
wrongdoers" who engage in risky investing
