Watch news about the stimulus/bailout plans going around, and see how many sentences are constructed with the assumption that for the economy to recover, consumer spending would have to go back up, dramatically if possible. I suspect you'll see plenty

...which is the part I kind of don't get. So you want to increase consumer spending, but you want to do so by distributing wealth in a manner that allows it to increase without crushing consumers under debt load. How will the stimulus packages being passed around now address that wealth distribution problem quickly enough for it to "work"?
