Hey I was never for the stimulus. but looky here, from your link.

"The earmark-mania is not unique to either party -- both Democrats and Republicans contributed to what Taxpayers for Common Sense estimates is 8,570 disclosed earmarks worth $7.7 billion in the bill that would fund the government through the end of the fiscal year."

Continuing to do something and expecting a different result is a sign of insanity.

Considering the vast majority of the stimulus money hasn't been spent yet, that would not be too wise. What are they waiting for anyway?

It's Obama's economy now!

I responded originally to Coalman's post saying that the stimulus package did not have funds targeted for job creation, that it was all pork. I then replied to him giving him a link to the breakdown of the stimulus package and how the funds were to be allocated... Please follow the thread.

GOP economy?

Liberals have controlled congress for 2 1/2 years in case you have forgotten.

Remember their promises in 2006 to fix the oil prices, create jobs and get the economy going ( It was doing just fine before they took control ) and so far they have been an utter failure.

Gas prices up, jobs down, mortgage meltdown caused by liberals, bankruptcies up, foreclosures up, cost of living up all under liberals controlled congress.

Libs control it all, what will you say in another 6 months when the economy is worse then it is now? Still blame the GOP I suppose?


This is the liberals bad economy, OBAMA AND LIBERALS TOTALLY CONTROL IT ALL and they get the blame for it all.

All the money in the world is spending to stimulate what?


Biden admitted they SCREWED UP, what more do your libs want?
