For a couple of days maybe but people will still look at their wallet and realize their are issues. I work in the HR industry and it is going to get worse before it gets better.

Government can't create jobs...
tell it to the "Greatest Generation" that lived through the Great Depression and WWII. first the NRA and later the WPA created MILLIONS of good jobs building and repairing America's infrastructure. same in the 1950's with the interstate highway system under a Republican administration
also, the current tax structure actually INCOURAGES companies to move jobs overseas. IF that is corrected and more jobs STAY in America, you will see working and middle class people with more spendable income. also tax breaks for those same people give them extra income that is more likely to end up being spent for goods and services than million dollar tax cuts for the richest 2% who tend to just sit on those funds.
btw, I don't think it's a accident that the character of "Ratbert" in the Dilbert cartoons is an "Human Resources" Director

Sigh....which some economist have argued that the WPA, NRA TVA etal. adn other actions by FDR likely prolonged the depression because of its net imbalance on the marketplace. Its actions slowed the job creation process up. Before, the 30's most of the infrastructure in this country - even roads and highways were built by private industry. Infrastructure is a loaded term to win votes. Most of the projects, while needed, won't be on-line by the time the country moves out of its current issues.
Further, I have seen talk of it creating 100K jobs - wow... that is like 1/2 months losses over the last couple of months.
The theory is that you create infrastructure that will create demand... it won't happen.
It is like Obama 3000/job proposal. I am sure that 3000 will really entice a business to create a job for someone. That is pure socialist thinking. A whole 3000 is about a months wages - no company will take that on.
Look, the economy is in the crapper but that happens from time to time anyone that tells you different is full of it. A bad economy allows for more efficient companies to survive and the bad ones to fail - yes, even the automakers.
The automakers should fail or at least go through bankruptcies and get out from their own stupidity. (Much like the Steel companies in the 80's) GM, Ford or Chrysler won't disappear but will be a leaner organization that won't have unworkable pension, union and healthcare problems see how competitive the steel companies are now.
As for the loan, I wonder if someone working at GM realizes a portion of his paycheck will be used to lay him/her off because that is what GM is essentially asking for from Uncle Sam. there is a reason Treasury told GM to take a hike but then the cried to Pelosi and will get what they want... 10 years of mismanagement and poor decision making so that they can come back and ask for more.
