COMMENTS: First Glimmers of Stimulus
Inspired by the combination of the Obama Presidency's Hundred Days and the first quarter's Gross Domestic Product statistics, CBS aired an interesting Tennessee-Los Angeles-Maryland wheel--Mark Strassman to Ben Tracy (no link) to Thalia Assuras--surveying the first fruits of the $787bn fiscal stimulus that Congress passed in February. Only $14bn has so far been sent to the states, with another $69bn allocated but already…bridge repairs are under way in almost every county of Tennessee…2,000 public school teachers have been saved from layoffs in LA even though another 1,500 still face pink slips…a community clinic in Nanjemoy Md treating 700 mostly uninsured patients will stay open for the next two years.
