There seems to be a lot of anti-Americanism in this thread. While yes, America has problems that sometimes take a very long time to fix, Europe has problems too, though not the same ones. Please don't blame the problems that the government has caused on the people living there. We didn't ask for all of these "fixes". The first step to recovery will be balancing the budget, and repealing the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts.

It will suck if Bush's plan to "help" gets through. Last time this happenned, people either put it in their savings or paid down some debt. It did absolutely nothing to stimulate the economy.
