Donald Lambro  WASHINGTON -- The old saying that money isn't
everything seems to epitomize President Obama's inept attempts
to jumpstart the economy by throwing $2 trillion to $3 trillion

$800 billion spending stimulus bill to pump money into the
states through a retro-New Deal-style wave of public-works
projects, and the financial markets tanked.  Then he announced a
second effort to pump $275 billion to bailout subprime mortgage
holders threatened with foreclosure and the biggest banks,
already tottering toward insolvency, fell into an even steeper
nosedive.  Then the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve
unveiled yet another public-private economic-rescue plan to
leverage $2 trillion or so to buy up toxic assets in the
financial industry and other businesses teetering on the edge.

plan that failed to impress Wall Street and the global financial
markets. Investors here and abroad
