Stimulus

I don't know what to think of the Stimulus package. The tax cut is nice, and I don't think I can help but spend it - it's pretty much too small to save.

And all the different elements on their own seem good - keep teachers, fix roads, more police, modernize the power grid. But all at once - everything all at once?

I think that perhaps they could have taken a lesson from Google or 37 Signals. Release small and quick, and refine as you go. I know, I know - the problem is too large, the stakes are too high. I think that the country is too large and too diverse to depend on one big plan.

We have fifty states - fifty different test cases (at least) - fifty different sets of problems.

I can't see a one size fits all.
