A recent article on Bloomberg.com quoted an Obama economic advisor as saying there is a real chance a stimulus package of somewhere in the vicinity of $600 billion will be recommended to the President-elect, working similarly to Bush’s $150 billion stimulus of about a year ago. Apparently, “demand is predicted to be so low that this sort of package is necessary.” Even if demand will be low, does anyone else besides me think this number is just a little over the top?
