Obama was talking like Schiff today:

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0309/19981.html

"And he spoke of a day beyond the current crisis, when he would try to create a “post-bubble” economic model, one that doesn’t rely for growth on “just on an overheating housing market, or people maxing out their credit cards. Those days are over. What we need to do is go back to fundamentals.”

He might just be talking smack, but it says something about where we are culturally that it's being talked about by our president. His solutions may be incorrect, but he's got the disease identified.

The only way he’d do that is if Obama suddenly became a free-marketer..a lazzie faire in his economic thinking a true Adam Smith, Frederick Hayek, or Ludwig Von Mises Austrian..I would welcome this, but I doubt..

Maybe, but his ‘stimulus’ is based on getting the consumer spending again.

The problem is that, in Obama's eyes, "the fundamentals" are central planning, high taxes, and government regulations. Never take these moles at face value.
