I listened to both speeches and there was no mention of metric. Governor Kaine mentioned in his speech that they received over 30 000 questions. So it would appear that any question dealing with the metric system got buried in the heap. Is there any serious economist that can be counted on to state that metric conversion would save millions of jobs and boost the economy? This is the only way Obama will include metric conversion in his plan.
I don't want to put down Obama's plan, but he should know that stimulus plans don't work. They never did. Every time they try to make things better they only make them worse. The ups and downs of the economy are just normal features of our capitalist system. We just have to ride it out like our ancestors did during the great depression.
