The Boston Globe Stimulus job boost in state exaggerated, review finds Errors, incomplete data, estimated positions go into federal report Revere spent $485,500 in stimulus funds to install solar panels on the roof of the Beachmont School and claimed to have created 64 jobs on the project. 64 jobs with 485,500, wow that's 7500.00 salary per job. You can make more at McDonalds

Because as I have posted, you are blaming Obama for actions Bush took. Oh, I know. Obama isn't responsible for shit. It is all Bush's fault. but you blithely ignore that Bush and the GOP were majority contributors to the deficit situation we find ourselves in. Except it isn't true. If you want to blame Bush for the deficits HE created, fine. They were a fraction of Obama's. You can't credibly blame Bush for money that Obama is spending. It just doesn't make any sense. Bush did not blow nearly a trillion dollars on stimulus. Obama did. Bush didn't propose health care reform that will cost us a trillion or more over 10 years. Bush didn't propose a bizarre cap-and-trade system that will not only cost us a trillion dollars but will gut any prospects for productivity growth. Bush clearly allowed too much spending; no argument from me. But Obama has done nothing but expand government since the day he took office. You cannot with a straight face blame this on Bush. And everyone with half a brain can see it.
