Even at $700 billion, is the stimulus bill enough to save the economy?

Friday, February 13, 2009

The question is no longer if will we have an agreement on the stimulus, but rather if the stimulus plan will be enough. Will this trillion dollar infusion save the economy? This morning we’ve invited writer David Leonhardt to the show. He writes the Economic Scene column for The New York Times and he’s agreed to let us pick his brain a little this morning as we try to answer our questions about the stimulus.

For more from David Leonhardt, read his latest Economic Scene article, To Spend or to Save? Trick Question in the New York Times.

Leonhardt says he hopes there's not another war on the way to change the economic situation. Aren't we already in two wars? They have only served to worsen our economic situation.
