Without being specific it is pretty easy to say who disagrees with me.
The basis of my post is pretty basic. Government stimulus needs to generate its impact before the costs off-sets the impact. If you find an economist who disagrees with that, let me know and we can take it from there. Government can "prime the pump" or get the party started and for that you need something immediate.

As we move from 2009 to 2010, we are not likely to see a continuation of the improving financial and economic trends that characterized the last three quarters of 2009. The intensity of the stimulus applied cannot be repeated.
