You failed to address the reality of the plan. It should have been much better and Washington chose to employ less... All economists are historians...it is the basis of economics.

What did it stimulate? How much money did each American get? Stimulus for what? I am still waiting for you rats to show how the stimulus helped. Yes the stimulus helped Obama and his family----just as Obama enrolled his girls in Sidwell rather than send them to D.C. public schools----he designated the filling of potholes along the route from the White House to Sidwell . What is so ironic in this is that the first half-black titular President took the votes of the D.C. residents, predominately black, and refused to send his girls to their public schools. Obama took their votes and refused to make his family a part of their society in D.C.-----what a slap in the face to the D.C. residents who voted for him.

Is that the same "stimulus plan" that originated under Bush?

The stimulus plan prevented the economy from sinking into another great depression. that's keynesian BS dogma, spouted by people that don't have the slightest understanding of economics. the money borrowed to 'stimulate' amounts to a sugar high that must be repaid WITH INTEREST! it's like telling a fat guy he must put on a hundred pounds before he can start losing weight. it's utter BS. but most people don't understand economics well enough to know it's BS. that's a shame because it's absurd right from the start. it doesn't 'prime the pump', it poisons the well.
