Talk about being brain washed. An economist is calling on the Obama administration to enact a temporary national freeze in job cuts until an economic stimulus package takes hold.

Layoffs at America's largest companies are only weakening the economy at a perilous time, said Lawrence Chimerine, who was chairman of the economic firm WEFA Group and prior to that was manager of economic research at IBM Corp.
Chimerine is proposing that the White House call for a "national initiative" in which Corporate America would agree to temporarily put a freeze on further job cuts - probably for three or four months - which he says would allow the Obama stimulus package to take hold.
Chimerine spoke on a conference call this week supporting the Obama stimulus plan. He said he was "in the process" of raising his idea with Obama and his economic team.
