Aug 17, 2009 - Poll: 57% don't see stimulus working Skepticism presents hurdle for Obama By Brad Heath USA TODAY WASHINGTON — Six months after President Obama launched a $787 billion plan to right the nation's economy, a majority of Americans think the avalanche of new federal aid has cost too much and done too little to end the recession.

But their is nothing childish about the very real concerns many economist have about his $800 billion soon to be over $1 trillion stimulus package. Those with very adult doubts about how borrowing another dollars can save our economy when we already have a trillion dollar deficit include: John Bates Clark Medal recipient, Nobel laureate, and University of Chicago economics professor Gary Becker: Perhaps their estimates of the stimulus provided by direct government spending are in the right ballpark, but I tend to believe that they are excessive. - 27 Comments
