Where is the stimulus

I read a good article today on the current state of the economy. It was very concise and accurate about how we got to where we are, the cause and the effect. And finally how do we get out.

It ended by saying that a great deal depends on the POTUS and how he reacts during this very critical early part of this term. He must be decisive, positive and willing to make deals. If there is the slightest sense that he doesn't believe in what he is trying to do, we are in really deep s***.

I agree with this but also think that it is up to us to take responsibility for our actions and not expect to be bailed out. Even at 10% unemployment, 90% of us are working. Lets look for ways to help. We also need to be responsible and live within our means. We need to save, we need to teach our children to be responsible and once again we need to look for ways to help. I am not sure what my way will be. I already spend most of my waking hours trying to recruit new industry and help exiting companies survive. I will make a determination in the near term and share it here. I hope each of you will do the same. Lets pick up our friends and neighbors and show the rest of the world that Americans aren't the spoiled selfish lot they think we are!
