(2009-01-09) Stimulus Short Vs Long Red Vs Blue

Will Credit Crisis 2008 make it infeasible for government to use any pricing tools to nudge behavior (e.g. Carbon Tax, Congestion Pricing) (because they won't want to increase costs for anyone)? And will Economic Stimulus Infrastructure projects be biased toward the ultimately-dead Suburb model (e.g. HighWay repair)? And how does AutoMobile company Bail-Out fit into this?

Update: how about some HighWay removal?
