Posted By Sheldon Richman
“President Obama’s economic message to Congress: Step on the gas! Obama detoured from a long-planned White House announcement on auto emissions to sound fresh alarms Monday about ‘the deepening economic crisis.’ He implored lawmakers to hustle approval of his $825 billion economic rescue plan, while taking pains to point out he had ‘inherited’ the financial mess.” (New York Daily News [1], Tuesday)
Don’t think — spend!
