Maybe people should be saying they misread both Obama and Biden?
He and Obama are crashing the economy instead of fixing it with their mistakes.
We cannot spend any more money and get nothing for it. The spending has to stop.
The only way to stimulate the economy is to give business tax cuts so they can grow and hire more people, instead Obama and Biden want to tax them to pieces. It simply will not work.
Oh see you're actually the reason the stimulus failed. Weak kneed Dems tried to placate your ignorance on how a stimulus is supposed to work. Half measures don't work. They thought they could just take what was needed and correct, along with the right's idea of doing nothing and split it down the middle to make everyone sort of happy....LOL


Fools complete utter fools....you never listen to right wingers...they are clueless.

The stimulus was plenty big but it all went to pork and BS stuff that has nothing to do with creating jobs.

Left wing crazies cannot understand that Obama has spend trillions of dollars on things that did not create a single jobs and now the money is gone and not one single new job from it.
Liberals will never understand that without jobs no economy will ever do well.
They believe the government will take care of everyone and everything.
We need less government and more jobs, something left wingers cannot seem to understand for some reason.
I look at this stimulus as a complete failure because he already has spend far to much money and it has not worked, now they want to spend more and the same results are going to happen.
Liberals are lost when it comes to the creation of jobs and how to get an economy moving.
