Economist Disappointed With Speed Of Stimulus Plan
Barry Bosworth, the Senior Fellow in the Brooking Institute’s Economic Studies Program, said during a panel discussion Thursday that while the stimulus plan may help recovery, he was disappointed over how long it took to put the plan into action.
“What’s really disappointing is that recession after recession the same thing happens: we can not get the political process to act fast enough,” said Bosworth. (0:18)
