"At this point the plan has been suggested, but until it happens—until the man is even president—there is no way now to know that this will happen."
Even though, right now, it's only a plan for a plan (as the plan per se has not been drafted), and even though it cannot begin to happen until January 20, this is significant news and already part of the political and economic process. It must be valid to discuss it here in some form. My main reservation is that this page will duplicate content presently found under Presidential transition of Barack Obama. However, the economic transition plans are discussed there in the broader context of the Obama administration's personnel and policies; whereas the significance of the economic plan, in the context of the global crisis, renders it highly desirable that there be a separate page on the topic, so that it may interact with the numerous other articles on the Economic crisis of 2008.
