I'm not sure we have much more than that for the economy. Maybe it will magically turn around without anymore nudging, but I really doubt it. I used to assume governors were practical enough creatures that they'd accept whatever money the feds threw at them, but now we don't even have that happening. I'd like to think Obama could get everyone to rally around a large infrastructure spending bill, but if isn't going to happen in the lame duck session it isn't going to happen. Probably the lesson learned is "people hate spending" when the real lesson is "people hate being poor and jobless and being chucked out of their homes by bailed out banksters" who, apparently, were deserving.
