Come on, folks. Try to think with that part of your brain you developed after government schools. This whole spending boondoggle wasn't designed to get our economy going again. It was designed to increase the size and power of our Federal government and to inoculate the political class against voter disgust.
These are people who think that America is great because of government; and the more government we have the better America is. This is why the stimulus money had to be spent by the government sector ... not the ordinary, hard-working masses.
In the meantime ... step outside and smell the stimulus. It's really doing the job, isn't it? Yup. Government always knows best ... especially when it comes to spending our money.
The people who made this decision will stand for reelection next year. You will look at the 435 members of the U.S. House of Representatives and tell yourself that 434 of those rascals just have to go. Every one except yours. The rascals know this. They're not worried.
