>Who said the "hole in demand" is $2 trillion? Who said it's even a "hole"? Economists. It's not that hard to calculate -- you look at what demand was when the economy was chugging along versus what it is now. >Maybe the economy just got ahead of itself? Maybe it needs time to correct itself? Well, it certainly did, at least in terms of the housing bubble, credit, and a few other areas. But it's been four years from now and people are really suffering. >There's just too many assumptions you have to make in order to "prove" that there is some amount of "stimulus" that would work. Not really. You just have to not understand basic economics. -Z
