The Current Economic Crisis in America

We are all familiar with the current situation for the country, the President Elect Barak Obama wants to invest the stimulus package in Highways and government buildings to be more power efficient, is that the solution? We need a better solution to stimulate this huge economy, and have a backup plan to follow it in case this jump start is not enough to start turning the wheel.
