...games are played in town squares and neighborhood streets, football has never had a wide popular following in China.

The reason for the hundreds of billions of dollars being added to the federal deficit is the belief that the government can buy its way out of the recession. If that does not happen, the average citizen will lose what has been his last, best hope for having a reasonable economic life instead of living through a multi-year period of national financial stagnation and intransigent, high unemployment.
