>>No, no...what I said was "stimulus". I don't recall the government coming up with a broad based "stimulus package", allocating a block of money, and then looking for ways to spend it.<<

Ah, yes. Fair enough. That's what I get for responding to something I had seen in another post earlier on. Though I do remember such stimuli. GWB passed a stimulus package in 2008. It involved mailing tax rebate checks to millions of people around the country.

Are you counting that as part of the reaction to this same recession since it occurred after 2007?
