"Unfortunately, the details of the stimulus package had many states' hands tied - their funds had to be allotted to certain types of projects, or they wouldn't get any of it.

Which of the 3 stimulus plans are you referring to? Bush I, Bush II, or Obama I? Remember they were passing out $100 checks a couple of years ago. All that did was create jobs in China.

Or that is what the democrats say.Now they say that thier stimulus has created jobs in districts that don't exist. Or do you actaully beleieve that unempoyment checks are bad and only stimulate china also? Wehn you consider the waste farud and abuse;I thnik it makes sense to give the money direct but greedy politicains and special interest groups; of course will not agree.Certainly the unions like the teachers and UAW won't has they benefited greatly as speical interest from the stimulus.Hmm ;stop unemployemnet bebefits because all taht does is creat jobs in China,now that is brillant.Now about welfare checks?No governamnt money to anyone as the chinese are getting it.
