Powers shares a saying with us in her article "Trade-Offs in the stimulus Package" she says "There is a saying in international development circles that both the World Bank and the international Monetary Fund knoe well how to spend a billion dollars on a single project but they have no idea how-- and when it is economically preferable--to spend a million dollars on 1,000 projects" What powers is saying is that mabey its time to stop thinking big and take everything down a notch. That we need to focus more on the smaller things rather then everything as a whole.
Her suggestion would be that instead of pooring millions of dollars into one large project, that mabey we need to divides these millions into smaller projects/problems. Having a detailed outline of where this money will go, how much is to be spent, when it is to be spent, and on what project it will be spent. Mabey if by focusing on the smaller issues at hand a fixing those, then its possible that the larger problems they create will be disloved along with them.
