The foundations of Obama's stimulus plan
Monday, January 19, 2009
I just finished reading a terrific article in Forbes magazine about two Wharton professors who have launched new academic research on how to best provide meaningful oversight for government spending on an economic stimulus plan. From where I sit, that's good news considering we've had more or less no transparency over the $350 billion in federal bailouts to banks and other financial institutions.
