without damaging growth by removing fiscal stimulus too quickly

Say what? The "fiscal stimulus" is money sucked out of the private sector (taxes) or removed from the capital markets (government debt) in order to keep the bloated public sector fat and happy. (We truly are ruled by government employees unions.)

Reversing the "stimulus" would be a huge step in the right direction for recovery, coupled with tax cuts and reigning in government spending.
