Long term vs short term spending
The public works program that finally ended the depression is sometimes called WWII, but it is actually DoD (Department of Defense). It is the Republicans favorite program. We are still spending gobs of money on it.
My point? We shouldn't worry that spending money on public programs is long term. We have some major concerns that we can spend money on and help out the economy. These include Universal Health Care and Global Warming, not to mention restoring the infrastructure (including mass transit!).
My only hope is that the long term programs we create this time are not total money holes like DoD.
