He vowed to extend unemployment benefits for workers, to help families avoid foreclosure and to aid small businesses and strapped state and municipal governments as well as the U.S. auto industry, which has been pounded by plummeting sales.

again as usual just throwing money at failed businesses and failed policies and trying to prop up prices of things like homes that naturally want to fall
all this does is prolong things it isn't spending money on things that will stimulate the economy and give us a return on our investment long term....
they are just near term bandaids....so people without a job can get a check for a little while longer.....so people can stay in their homes for a few more years......so state and municiple governments that are in bad economic standing due to liberal fiscal practices can continue those practices for a few more years......and so GM can continue to burn through 7 billion dollar of cash every quarter so that some people (there will be huge job losses just not all) can have a job and pension promises still be paid out for a few more years....
just delay tactics and a horrible investment
