Economist James Galbraith, U.S. Steelworkers president Leo Gerard and Institute for America's Future co-director Robert Borosage explain why they are calling for a $900 billion "Main Street Recovery Program" [1]over the next two years. The program, endorsed by both Galbraith and Gerard as well as by hundreds of other organization leaders and economists, sets the parameters for the kind of stimulus for working families that they want to see President-elect Barack Obama sign when he takes office in January.
