Comments on: Barack Obama will stimulate the economy by getting Americans to watch more television http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/philg/2009/01/08/barack-obama-will-stimulate-the-economy-by-getting-americans-to-watch-more-television/ A posting every day; an interesting idea every three months...

If the universal broadband plan is to succeed, your government needs to command more IPTV investment & less DTV investment. The trick with the command economy is to recognize what business falls into the central plan & what you should avoid.

Regarding TV's, get this (from the news)... "Circuit City Stores [in bankruptcy] asked the FCC to cancel its $712,000 fine for not labeling analog-only TVs..." And Obama wants to delay the digital-conversion? Are there any left-hands in DC that know what the right-hands are doing? One small quibble... Where you said.. "immigration that encourages high earners" to which I would add *that cannot be educated/placed by America* e.g. if there is a shortage of MD's in America, then fix the "MD creation process" here. Importation of (in this case) MD's exacerbates America's problem. Overall Grade-A for your Economic Recovery Plan :-) It’s worse than you stated. Regarding TV’s, get this (from the news)…
