I completely agree.
Instead of the $750 billion plus stimulus package the government should have gone to the big media companies (behind closed doors of course) and offered them big $$ to ease up on the negative economy coverage and focus on the positive. Would of been a ton cheaper and had much better results.
It's pretty common sense. If the average middle class family is bombarded with bad news and how the sky is falling they get scared to spend money. Instead of that dinner at Olive Garden they eat at home to save the money. Now, if all they see is how great everything is and how the economy is improving rapidly they arent as inclined to save as much and they spend. The more spending, the better the economy actually improves.
