Remember when Obama got his trillion-odd dollars of stimulus money which he and the Democrats in Majority breathlessly said we needed for shovel ready jobs to re-build roads and infrastructure? PLEASE e-mail me if anything of that sort got built in your town. Nothing got built in the cities where I spend time. So where did all that sweet stimulus money go? Of the money spent in swing state Wisconsin, 80 percent went to public sector unions-those with already locked-in jobs. In fact, right-to-work states got $266 less per person in stimulus money than heavily unionized states. Where Democrats had a vast majority of representatives, their states got $460 per person more. When Obama signed the stimulus bill in 2009, he promised it would provide help for those hardest hit by our economic crisis. Clearly, it did not. The states hurt the most, the ones with more foreclosures, unemployment, and bankruptcy, got less money than richer states closer to power. Washington, D.C. got the most stimulus money: $7,602 per capita. The stimulus was a huge political slush fund with little accountability. Obama credits the passage of his stimulus bill to people having no idea how Democrats were going to spend the money. Obama, Pelosi and Reid still maintain that doling out all the stimulus money saved jobs. It did -- theirs. As recently as the State of the Union speech, they actually begged for more stimulus money -- $155 billion more. That is like burning down the hotel you got to stay in for free, then disputing your mini-bar charge. Yes, Im finger-pointing. Another sham...this was my response to somebodys meme. Just carrying it forward.
