Listen to Larry on Fiscal Stimulus

In his New York Times column on January 29, David Brooks discusses why wise leader Larry Summers, now a top economic advisor to President Obama, has the right vision for the stimulus package.  Brooks argues the current package must be changed to meet the three important parameters Summers laid out:  (1)  timely;  (2)  targeted;  (3)  temporary.  We completely agree.  The current stimulus package seems to have lost any sense of a vision to guide it.  President Obama needs to get back to Larry Summers' vision on this very important issue.  We are talking about $800 Billion.
