After 8 years of "uh uh uh [made upword] *cocky smirk*" I was on the verge of tears. He came across as on the level and appeared to be *gasp* thinking. Personally, I hope the next economic stimulus package is mainly infrastructure improvements (like FDR/Huey Long levels), extensions of unemployment benefits are a good idea as well. I agree with Paul Krugman's stance that right now is not the time to be paying off the federal debt and balancing the budget (sauce). Save that for the good times, you know the period of time Bush and company like to start wars and create the debt.
