The Obama administration's latest stimulus is very good. Keeping income tax rates where they are, extending unemployment, and a payroll tax cut boosts aggregate demand without the Government picking winners and losers, and without red tape.

it boosts employment at the margin as well. though that effect is severely limited by the 1 year time span. Hopefully they will be extended.
