Robert Reich sounds the alarm and makes the case for serious deficit spending by the federal government (I assume he means here in America rather than a country half a world away). Emphasis mine.
It's now clear the Fed can't and won't stimulate the economy. This leaves fiscal policy as the sole remaining vehicle. Distributing those little stimulus checks this month were like dispensing aspirin for pneumonia. Blue-dog Democrats, Calvin Coolidge Republicans, and Ross Perot Independents all must understand the critical importance of deficit spending right now. It's all we have left.
He ends with the somewhat frightening
Unless fiscal policy is unleashed, the current recession has a 50-50 chance of turning into something far worse by this time next year.
And tonight I read the Dow has had the worse June since 1930.
What steps are you taking to prepare "For something far worse"?
