Stimulus or Growth

With all of the (much needed) talk about how we are going to stimulate the economy and attempt to get things back on a forward track it's quite easy to get confused.  Today's Wall Street Journal has a great editorial from Sam Palmisano, Chariman/CEO of IBM, discussing how the government can invest for growth.

It's a must read.  It's well written, well thought, and on point.  Additionally, it has lessons for all business leaders on how even when the short-term interests and the long-term interests seem to no longer align, with a little thought and creativity they just might.  My favorite quote from the article:  "Rather than just stimulate, we should transform."
