They sure did try to take credit for that money. Louisiana's Governor was passing out checks that he'd put his own name on.Not just governors. I posted a link listing the over 110 Republican senators and congressmen who received tens of millions of dollars from the stimulus package they voted against. The fuckers took credit for the jobs that money created. Jobs like upgrading railroads (Mitch McConnell) that connects entire communities and installs high speed Internet (Scott Brown) for smaller companies who were able to expand and build bridges that connected communities to increase commerce.
Republicans think building up America's infrastructure is a "waste of money". They say, "Once you finish the bridge, the job is over". They have no meaning of the word "investment" or the phrase, "It takes money to make money". Instead, they think "rich people, out of the goodness of their great hearts, make jobs". It would be hilarious if it weren't so pathetic.
Republicans think that money is gone forever. They can't fathom that "creating jobs creates revenue". They just don't get it.
