Obama has already made clear that economic stimulus done in an intelligent way will be job one (see his radio address here). In his words "We'll put people back to work rebuilding our crumbling roads and bridges, modernizing schools that are failing our children, and building wind farms and solar panels; fuel-efficient cars and the alternative energy technologies that can free us from our dependence on foreign oil and keep our economy competitive in the years ahead." In other words, not just economic stimulus, but stimulus that creates real benefits we will all be able to benefit from in the future, and which will enhance future growth.
You know, it's nice to have a leader that, when he announces a bold new plan, you don't have to try and figure out what the nefarious catch is or how his private sector friends will be profiting from the plan.
Robert Reich himself will contribute to our economic recovery by returning to his job at the north pole manufacturing toys.
