Metaphor for Recovery from a Recession

A group of travelers head down the wrong path with a limited supply of food and water. Suddenly they realize they are on the wrong path; they have to turn back and start from the wrong turn, but in doing so some of the travelers will die (they were counting on a supply station, say). Bush/Obama and the federal reserve come along and say “no, this was the right path, you just weren’t walking on it correctly. Here’s a little food and a little water, just walk the path more carefully and everything will be fine.”

So the travelers walk down the path, but it’s still the wrong path, and eventually Bush/Obama/The Fed’s food and water isn’t available, and all the travelers perish. The travelers are businessmen, the food and water is financial resources, the wrong path is where our economy is now. I hope this was helpful.
