Most of it went to bonuses for banking execs...vacations..etc. There were no stipulations on the money when it was handed over. I don't see where it eased the economic burden anywhere.
All i her from obama and the lefties is that we need to pay to fix our infrastructure and to pay for education.
It's almost as if they want you to forget about the $800 BILLION!
Ask your elected (leftie) officials where the money went.
At first I thought you were referring to the $900B from TARP that was loaned out by Bush, and then paid back during the Obama administration which should have given Obama a $900B credit on his balance sheet rather than a $5T deficit.
Kind of scary where all that money has gone if we are to believe that Obama has downsized the size of government like his minnions keep saying he has.
Well, firstly you need to identify which area you are talking about...instead of some vague rant about spending money. The government spends nearly 4 trillion a year in total, and over a 4 year presidency that's a lot of money to take a wild stab at what the hell you are angry about now.
The only reason I would see some one making such a vague statement like that is simply ignorance, or hoping people would read their own frustration about spending into it. Neither of which is the sign of a healthy, rational, or balanced mind.

What are you talking about? The only thing that comes to mind is the 858 billion in new, unpaid for spending for the Bush tax cuts to the rich extension that the GOP held the nation hostage over to force through.
Though that's the GOP for you, they don't give a damn about the debt or anything else, just as long as their cronies and the rich are taken care of.

The OP mentioned infrastructure, so what he's talking about to most of us, is pretty clear, but its no irony that the very same people who dont know what the OP is talking about, also doesnt understand that tax cuts arent spending.
What is ironic is the number of times you continue to repost garbage like this without being embarassed about not knowing 101 of basic economics.

You had better learn comprehension skills.
obama is the one traveling the nation stating the HE alone saved the world from disaster with TARP.
But I digress.....where's the $800 BILLION "stimulus"?
