...financial system from collapse. (And anyway, it hasn't worked.) The purpose of a stimulus is to get the entire economy moving again. Put money in people's pockets and let them spend it. Or, even better, let's spend it together on national projects like fixing the highway system. Bring on the earmarks! Hey, Sarah--where did we stash those plans for that Bridge to Nowhere?
