A bike for every American
A stimulus plan to get America rolling again
The Morse economic stimulus plan is straightforward and simple. Every man, woman and child in the United States would receive a government check for $1, 000. Now that's a stimulating chunk of money.
The catch: you have to use it to buy a bicycle. This is an economic program I can far more enthusiastically support than the elimination of stock dividends.
My favorite quote from the article:
"Detroit will love that," quipped UC Berkeley economist Alan Auerbach when I floated this notion, which he immediately dubbed "the Critical Mass Plan."
