Boost the economy, get America working

There aren't a whole lot of people in the country who can honestly say that they understand how the government's $700 billion -- and growing -- bailout plan is supposed to work. Buying up toxic assets in credit markets and throwing money at uncooperative banks in hopes of jump-starting the economy aren't the kind of things you learn in Econ 101. And so far, those efforts have done nothing to stave off the worst economic crisis in America since the Great Depression.

Yah, give all the bankers and stock brokers shovels and get them on the infrastructure!!!!!
