Second part...
Obama promised 8% unemployment--worst case--if we passed the stimulus.
You should be old enough to know shit happens and promises are not always kept. Bush pass a stimulus before Obama. It may not be 8% but a hell of lot better then 20% if not for the stimulus. Would have been better is GOP governors had all accepted the money and those that did take is had not used it for Puerco. California asked for more it was working so well. I still see it working here in Nevada.
