Flu/CE, I completely agree with your last posts. Band-aids at best.

Just my two cents, but I think the next ‘leg up’ in the economy is going to involve changes to our energy paradigm — shifts in production, distribution, transportation, etc.

So I’d prefer to see a larger portion of the money going towards energy-related efforts. It’s a national security issue as well, so again, all the more reason to focus the dollars on solutions to the energy picture. Just my two cents.
