So, is this the "Republican way"? I posted a list of 114 Republican Senators and Congressmen who have publicly taken credit for "stimulus" jobs while saying the stimulus didn't lead to a single new job
States are required to pay for the Stimulus, so of course they should take the money. If someone steals your wallet with $100 and gives back $20, did he rob you? Yes. Should you insist he take the other $20? I'm thnking not. It's better to lose 20K jobs and gain 15K jobs then lose 20K jobs and gain 0K jobs. That doesn't change that net the so called stimulus was a job killer.
