Obama "inexcusable and irresponsible"

Obama declared yesterday that the delay of the incoming stimulus package is "inexcusable and irresponsible." 

I couldn't agree more. The last thing we need are wavering politicians who won't just go for our best chance, currently, of getting out of the current recession. We don't want more unfavorable events occurring, further disheartening the public's faith in an economic comeback. A stimulus should not only help out consumption expenditures, and increase jobs, but also show the people that we can get through this, and give them the necessary faith to help bring our economy back to its full employment output. 

And for Libertarians this article, written by a Harvard prof, takes the Libertarian view as to how the stimulus should be. 

Some good thoughts, even in my opinion. I definitely agree with some things (certain tax cuts, fewer government expenditures than originally planned, cut benefits) but some others not so much.
