(They've substituted "Kinetic Wealth Redistribution" instead. Do the Democrats have a bag of wool laege enough to cover the eyes of half of this nation of 300 million?)
"Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and House Democrats have dropped the word stimulus from their vocabulary.
Though the House minority leader and her caucus are still pushing an economic stimulus agenda to save the economy, theyve radically changed their rhetoric with the hope of winning over voters who saw stimulus as close to a dirty word.
Democrats are now being careful to frame their job-creation agenda in language excluding references to any stimulus, even though their favored policies for ending the deepest recession since the Great Depression are largely the same.
[...]
Recognizing the unpopularity of the 2009 package, however, Democratic leaders have revised their message with less loaded language job creation instead of stimulus and Make it in America in lieu of Recovery Act in hopes of tackling the jobs crisis.
Thats a sharp shift from last years messaging strategy, when Pelosi issued hundreds of press releases touting the benefits of the 2009 stimulus bill in hopes of making believers of skeptical voters.
In the four months prior to last Novembers elections alone, Pelosis office released more than 80 fact sheets highlighting media reports about local projects the stimulus law was supporting.
In December, that practice abruptly stopped, with good reason.
Not only had Democrats been trounced at the polls a month earlier, but also public sentiment had made stimulus a radioactive word and shovel-ready a running national joke."
