FAIRFAX, Va. (Jan. 8) - President-elect Barack Obama warned of dire and long-lasting consequences if Congress doesn't pump unprecedented dollars into the national economy, making an urgent pitch Thursday for his mammoth spending proposal in his first speech since the election.
"In short, a bad situation could become dramatically worse" if Washington doesn't go far enough to address the spreading crisis, the Democrat said as fresh economic reports showed an outlook growing increasingly grim.

I hate to say it sense it's been said so many times here and by Ron Paul on top of it but that approach has already been tried in the past and ends up killing the countries economical vale and just makes things even worse.

The only way for any help to the economic problem is to return industrial jobs and manufacturing back into the country and not just paper clips and toothpick manufacturing.
Make all our products 100 percent made in America, not 10 percent American made and 90 percent forign made.
And if there is a economic stimulus package, it needs to be more than a piddly 600 bucks..a good 5k per person may help, 10k would do even better.
Cheers!!!!

Eggzackly!!!! That $600 is already taken by a tax bill on my house. I can't believe they bailed out all those execs to the tune of billions of dollars and here we get what? How about give everyone 10K to apply towards outstanding debt, education or home repairs?

I agree we must stop sending our dollars out of country.
Any ideas on how to motivate Americans to buy American.
I am of the opinion that much of this problem has been caused thru the passing of NAFTA and we are now starting to feel the effects.
