...less likely to make purchases, frugal consumers can carry hundreds as a form of self-control. From a recession-fighting perspective, however, self-control is Satan. The U.S. government is desperate for consumers to start spending again. So maybe the Obama Administration is approaching the economic stimulus the wrong way.

Every time he forces himself to say, "I'm as angry as anybody about those bonuses," it sounds clearer that he's not as angry as anybody. And he may actually do better in tough Q&As, like...
