But is that a band-aid, or fixing the actual problem?

>Very simply put (as I'm understanding it), a lot of the problem at this time is that there isn't enough money circulating. People aren't purchasing in the volumes that they had been, companies are laying off production to stop stockpiling stock (very expensive to do), etc etc. In other words, the great money engine has stalled out. By putting money back into circulation the hope is to 're-start' the engine. Much like a pilot will put his aircraft into a slight dive trying to get the engine turbines spinning before he tries an in-air restart.

>>How exactly is throwing a crapload of money at it riding it out?

>>>Ok, several analogies went through me head, from avalanches to surfing, but the point I'm going for is; sometimes the ONLY thing you can do is ride it out and do your damnedest to slow it and/or soften the sudden stop at the end.

>>>My other point is, so many things went wrong that there is no ONE solution to this, but egos being what they are, there will be people who think if the 'gumment' is doing exactly what they want them to do, well - it'll fail...no wait...it's making it WORSE! Yeah...that's it! WORSE!!!!!!! And then they go out of their way to try to make it so. That whole self-fullfilling prophecy thing.

>>>They're not doing what *I* think they should do!!
>>>Everyone do THIS!!!!! (which may exacerbate the problem)
>>>SEE!!!! I was RIGHT!!!!!! (when everyone follow their directions and the problem gets worse)
