"You do realize that the stuff that the Republicans were whining about in the press amounted to something like 1/10th of a percent of the entire package, no?" Tried that one already. Seems like the wingnuts have retconned the situation and now claim to have staunchly opposed all pork and a single drop is too much. I also see where some are trying to break out the special dictionary the wingnuts use and re-define "stimulus"...

You do realize that the stuff that the Republicans were whining about in the press amounted to something like 1/10th of a percent of the entire package, no? Guess you missed this post, read it and try again: Message 25393422 I was against the first bailout. Tell me what that accomplished. Tell us what the first stimulus accomplished. But I do know the socialist answer to everything is to throw more money at it, it failed because we didn't throw enough money at it. Or the latest socialist excuse for FDR's failure to turn around the depression is: "he didn't do it fast enough".
