Out: stimulus ... In: recovery

I meant to blog this story yesterday when it first appeared.   The New York Times had an interesting piece about how the word "stimulus" has been replaced by "recovery" when it comes to describing the economy.

It might seem like semantics and inside baseball, but it's an important shift.  Stimulus connotes a rebate check, similar to the one last year, when most Americans received $600 from the government in an effort to jump start the economy. 

Recovery, on the other hand, is a Roosevelt-ian term; it connotes massive government intervention to stave off a deep recession or depression.  President-Elect Obama has indicated that he wants a $500-700 billion "recovery package", and he'll likely get it. 

The message from Team Obama: we're way beyond merely stimulating the economy -- we're in full-on recovery mode.  It's a very smart political move.
