President Barack Obama just finished delivering his Inaugural Address. Early on, he said:

"Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and begin again the work of remaking America."

Here at Planet Money, we hear so many conflicting opinions, from economists who say government should stay out of the economy and ones who say government hasn't yet waded in far enough. Today I find myself thinking, my goodness, I hope Obama gets this right — whatever right turns out to be.
