Sure they need to spend money, but they need to spend it where it helps out Main St. , not Banking and Wall St.

The real problem is the situation is so complicated, no one in congress is qualified to make recommendations. They depend on the Treasury Sec to write the bills and don't bother to read them. Both Paulson and Geither look out for their buddies at our expense.

You are correct that there is nothing we can do that will have an immediate impact, however I never met a Congressman who didn't want to get reelected.
