Help?
Okay. I am not great at admitting when I don't understand something - I'm terrible at it, actually. But I'm working on that.
And, honestly, I don't know that I totally understand the impact of the economic stimulus bill that Obama signed. I don't understand how it's going to work, how it should actually improve the economy (I'm really not an economist).
And wouldn't the combination of this stimulus bill along with the bailouts lead to massive inflation, like ... Germany, post-WWI style? Or not?
If anyone has some sort of understanding of this, I'd appreciate it, not only for me, but because I have students asking all the time and I really don't know what to say beyond what I read in the NY Times.
