What Obama should have done in 2009

[Frodo]

Should have gone for a bigger stimulus with more in the way of infrastructure spending as opposed to tax cuts, as well as to revive manufacturing in the United States over the longer-term while reducing consumer spending.  What we saw (combined with TARP as well as quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve) was enough to stave off another Great Depression, but that was all it was capable of.
