You have no evidence that the mayor was lying.

I mean other than the continued high unemployment, weak economy, and deflating dollar. Nope. No evidence at all.

The mayor said the stimulus worked in his own city dumbass, now prove him wrong.

I did not like the stimulus but to say that the dems used it to buy the union and not mentioned what some rep did is not accurate. Our congress hosed all of us. They funneled money to every relative, friend and business they know to get re-elected, it was one of the best opportunities they have had and they took it. Shame on all of us we elected them.

So, your argument is that because the mayor said it, it must be true? That's your argument... and you call other people 'dumbass'.... Look in a mirror. You'll find the dumbass looking back.

Conservatives aren't the only ones paying taxes you dumbass, people of all political persuasions are tax payers.

I didn't say we were, dumbass. I said conservatives are paying for it. If they're paying for it, they are entitled to take it. Dumbass.

Dumbass, everybody is paying for it so everyone is entitled to it, why are conservatives trying to stop it? Dumbass.

Conservatives know we don't need a stimulus. However, since your forcing it upon us, we're taking what is ours.... because we're gonna be paying for it, our kids are gonna be paying for it, our grandkids are gonna be paying for it.

The money you're spending? IT IS NOT OUR MONEY. It belongs to future generations. You greedy little Dummkopf.

We must pas the stimulus bill or unemployment number will go up to 8 percent. but down 8 percent would have been good compared to 10 percent would you agree? It did not work as planed their are no crated jobs in the private sector and the government is having to cut back so the stinulus was a lie and anyone who says it worked is liar doesn't matter what letter they wear on their jersey

It doesn't matter what some person estimated.

It wasn't just some person it was the leadership of the democratic party. including obama. Are you now saying that it doesn't matter what oibama says?

Germany enjoyed its fastest economic expansion in two decades last year as booming exports spurred hiring and consumer spending.

German Economy Expands at Fastest Pace in Two Decades Amid Export Demand - Bloomberg

Oops.

You might want to look a little deeper to figure out what the Germans are doing there deanie. Their currency was devalued by 20% and they doubled the governemnts debt to 3.5% of GDP. The economic "boom" is a fiction...

"The policy that Germany has gotten most right is the one that has kept its unemployment rate (currently 7.0 percent) at or below pre-recession levels despite a steeper decline in output (4.6 percent) for 2009 than the U.S. experienced. This is the policy of subsidizing employers to keep workers on the job at reduced hours, instead of laying them off. This has saved hundreds of thousands of jobs in Germany, and could save millions in the United States, if only we had some political leadership with the courage to take these modest but obvious steps.

Ironically, however, the reforms that Spain is being pressured to adopt are in the opposite direction – the European authorities want Spain to make it easier for employers to get rid of workers.

Another flaw in the argument: Germany’s record second quarter growth – 2.2 percent over the previous quarter, or 9 percent at an annual rate – was driven mostly by exports, which grew 8.2 percent over the previous quarter, or 37 percent annualized. As the South Centre has noted, for 2002-2007, exports accounted for 143 percent of Germany’s growth – meaning that the German economy would have actually contracted over these years if not for export growth."
