I am disappointed nobody is asking where the infrastructure improvements Obama promised are.
In answer to both of the above post. I don't give a care about what has gone before, I can't change what went before. But I need some assurance from the current crop of politicians that they will do something so that my grandkids will have safe roads to travel on, and have fresh foods sent over the highways and not scattered over two miles of I7o because of bad roads.
Obama had to hide the what little he got passed on executive orders, then listen to the Congress bitch because they didn't get a chance to veto it. Three wars and billions of dollars in debt kind of stopped anything he wanted to do. As I remember it, the stimulus may have kept us out of a recession or worse depression. I don't know if this is correct but I'm sure someone will straighten me out.
Can't have your Great Society and good roads.
Most of the Great Society programs died with L.B.J., and Dick Nixon. And right nor left can let America's roads kill people.
Opinions vary. Here is a job chart for the period:
The stimulus was signed into law February 17, 2009. Job losses were already dropping in February. I'd love to see someone try convince me the stimulus spent enough dollars quickly enough for to credit the downtrend in job losses to the stimulus.

I can't say what Reid's motives were, but the perception was that there was no money after passing the stimulus.
Oh stop with the BS apologies for Obama wasting the two years he had control of Congress.
Again, what do we have to show for the stimulus and the doubling of the debt?
I totally agree with every word you said. And I have no idea who will start us back on the path to stop the debt spending, but the people who are supposed to take care of budgeting need to take some advice from Americans that are working for 10 dollars an hour. If they don't get the budget under control, our country is headed for some really bad wake up calls.
I don't think I am sniveling. I am asking the politicians to do the job they are paid to do, and not just make grand promises that they have no intention of trying to fulfill. And that includes Democrats and Republicans.
