We didn't want the money spent because there is no evidence that blowing money will make a bad economy turn around. Employing people for infrastructure projects isn't "blowing money". Saving jobs when the unemployment rate is approaching 10% isn't "blowing money". Cutting taxes isn't stimulus, it gets saved not spent. Everybody knows this except you right wingnuts.

>> You don't give a shit because you don't want it to work. You don't get it. It isn't that people "don't want it to work". He didn't say people. He said you. It is that we know it doesn't work. We didn't want the money spent because there is no evidence that blowing money will make a bad economy turn around. There is tons of evidence........any number of examples. You simply refuse to acknowledge them because they don't fit your book. We knew this going in. We all told you, "This doesn't work. It has been tried. Pork-barrel spending does not make the economy better. There is no recorded evidence that it does. If you want to turn the economy around, do what works -- cutting taxes." Dude, its been 4 months. Only a small portion of the stimulus money has gone out. You are desperate to prove Obama wrong and all you are doing is making yourself look stupid. But no. You guys had a socialist agenda you wanted to get through. Never waste a good crisis. So, you did what you did, it has failed, and we (our children) are stuck with $100 Million a day in interest, into perpetuity, and not one damned thing to show for it. Pure asstalk. You have nothing to support your position.
