The Recovery Act War of Words

Posted on February 17, 2010 by billmanzi

The stimulus package anniversary has of course launched a war of words between Democrats and Republicans about its relative effectiveness. With jobless numbers still high the Republicans feel free to declare it a failure, while Democrats pounce on obvious Republican hypocrisy about taking funds for their districts that they voted against in Congress. The stimulus package had obvious flaws, but it has been a tremendous help to local and state governments looking to maintain essential services.

    Your Honor,

    The President, who promised us transparency, posting of bills so we can review it before voting on them and a host of other deliberate lies, continues the same course by telling us about the 2 million jobs saved as result of the the stimulus “investment”. Jobs saved is determined how? Also told the unemployment rate would not exceed 8%. Another lie.

    Meanwhile those nasty Republicans keep getting in Obama’s way, thank God.

    I will give you one thing, your honor, the public employees have received benefit from this President. Corruption and lies.

    Jules
