Bob evaluates the success of the Recovery Act, as well as the horrible marketing campaign that should be informing Americans of the good their government is doing.
We as a national have done better in the stock market:
...in job creation:
...GDP growth:
...and in legislative achievement:
The New York Times figures that 1.6 million jobs have been created by the stimulus. Here is more on their reporting plus their sidebar graph info:
From my driving around from California to Colorado to Illinois, I've seen plenty of work being done. It isn't a boondoggle. It isn't waster (except for maybe some of the work here in Vegas but that's a local - re:GOP - choice). Perfectly deployed and explained? No. But a damn sight better than the sitting on our hands Hooverite approach the Rethugs suggested? Hell yeah!
So basically you've got the GOP against jobs and growth. Also in this is the reality that the GOP voted against 25 different tax cuts. Yep, they are even voting against things they say they are for when Democrats propose them.
The stupidity and lies continue from the tea baggers.
