But when absolutely nothing is being done except to throw debt money into failing business models, it is not acceptable.

Sure Obama will spend $1 trillion of debt money on infrastructure jobs but this means the economy will be energized 'temporarily' by taxpayer debt. What happens when this bailout money stops flowing? If the root system is not also energized by being able to compete in this global marketplace, then we're back to the same problems except they are bigger each time...
