>> The stimulus money to be spent on infrastructure really did nothing to save or create jobs. That’s not a conservative talking point; that’s the AP:

This is just so obvious. I see RW has disappeared from this thread -- perhaps he, too, now realizes what a flop it has been. CJ and others have told us how massive government spending ended the Great Depression, therefore, it will work now.

The reality is there is no evidence that standing back and throwing money will help the economy, and that's what they've done.

I have no doubt future liberals will be making shit up to account for this obvious disconnect.

Except by almost every metric the economy has resumed growth and job losses have dwindled to almost zero and we are on the verge of job growth but yeah, the stimulus was an asbysmal failure.
