I get your point, but your statement was both literally wrong, in the sense I pointed out, and wrong in the larger sense that your point is incorrect. The stimulus will be moderately positive to slightly negative in the short run, while being negative in the long run.

What's he trying to tell us..... China's premier worries about US Treasury holdings (AP:BEIJING) China's premier says he worries about the safety of the enormous holdings of U.S. Treasuries and other debt and called on Washington to maintain a credible economic policy. Premier Wen Jiabao noted Friday that that China is now the largest creditor to the United States and as such wants to make sure that U.S. policies dealing with the financial crisis do not damage the value of Chinese holdings. "We have made a huge amount of loans to the United States. Of course we are concerned about the safety of our assets. To be honest, I'm a little bit worried," Wen said at his annual news conference. Analysts estimate that nearly half of China's $2 trillion in currency reserves are invested in U.S. Treasuries and notes issued by other government-affiliated agencies. news.ino.com
