The New York Times : “Unfortunately, bolstered spending for unemployment benefits and food stamps was ... omitted from the plan, in favor of granting businesses outsized tax writeoffs for new investments. That is a blunder because direct relief spending is a more powerful stimulus than business tax breaks, and is better aimed at the neediest. Worse, short-shrifting the jobless and the poor now virtually guarantees that if the economy continues to deteriorate, policy makers will be forced to provide more relief later, driving up the total cost of the stimulus.” See “Beyond the Stimulus Package,” Editorial, The New York Times, 1/27/08
