Creating more debt IS "business as usual".
Don't create more debt that my children will have to pay back. A cash rebate will be "THROWING MONEY AT THE PROBLEM" Let private businesses create the jobs. Give businesses a tax cut if you give anybody a tax cut so they can create more and employ more.

I should have blogged this last week. From Change.gov: In this week's address, President-elect Barack Obama discusses solutions for our struggling economy in the new year. read more | digg story

The best part of President Elect Barack Obama's weekly radio address (seen below) this week is the satisfaction of knowing we finally have a President who at least knows what is going on in the economy. Unlike Bush who, until the entire thing exploded, kept telling us how the economy was great (McCain told us it was great even after it exploded), Obama appears to at least understand the issue and has some pretty good ideas on what to do about it. I like that he is talking about private sector jobs, education and health care. You may not agree with his politics but we can all agree on one thing. Thank God the buffoon is gone. Finally, we have a leader who addresses the issues and tackles them head on. Not the "Iraq is going great", "The economy is great", "Katrina is no big deal" President.

Here is Barack Obama’s latest fire(fox)side chat! It’s depressing! Actually it’s his opening salvo in what should be a massive pr campaign to pass the economic stimulus bill, but he could still throw us a bone here. He goes from “all the blessings that make life worth living” to “two million lost jobs,” in literally 12 seconds. Enjoy! For fun we’ll tag this post with some of the zany Obama tags from the primary season, back when Barack Obama was a fist bumping terrorist. Won’t that be fun?

In this week’s weekly address, President-elect Barack Obama lays out the challenges that face us in the new year, and his plan for taking them on.“We need an American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan that not only creates jobs in the short-term but spurs economic growth and competitiveness in the long-term,” he says. “And this plan must be designed in a new way—we can’t just fall into the old Washington habit of throwing money at the problem. We must make strategic investments that will serve as a down payment on our long-term economic future. We must demand vigorous oversight and strict accountability for achieving results. And we must restore fiscal responsibility and make the tough choices so that as the economy recovers, the deficit starts to come down. That is how we will achieve the number one goal of my plan—which is to create three million new jobs, more than eighty percent of them in the private sector.” (more…)
