Perhaps it will, sl74, but we heard the same about QE and QE2, and bread can still be bought at $1.00 (less for a pixi loaf). In fact, stimulus packages, by any other name, can create employment, by giving money to industry. Where we see those government drilling grants to small mining companies, this is stimulus. I reckon it's been going in since Whitlam was booted. Now, instead of giving money to the people, we give it to companies. Still, keep our shares buoyed, which is the main thing. ;)
