How Much Stimulus Does The Economy Needs?

You're right. They should stop. There is a very serious correction coming and these bandaids merely delay dealing with it, and will make it more difficult when it comes. The only way our economy has remained "strong" is by supporting it with imaginary money, both from the government and individuals. What they are currently doing is printing more money that doesn't exist to artificially support the economy. The fiction is starting to show, which is why the economy continues to tank.

Nobody knows. Even the original figure of $700 billion was just plucked out of thin air. Paulson said they needed "a really big number". Maybe they should consider allowing some of those banks and companies to actually fail. Sometimes a recession right now can lead to a stronger economy in the long run.
