So you had to do it. You made me go find out what he actually said.
He said that at the end of ten years, the stimulus could have a negative impact on the GDP without further action.
The operative words being "without further action".
Not only that, but the estimate is the stimulus led directly to the creation of 3 million jobs.
Now, if you don't believe that, there are 114 Republican Congressmen who voted against the stimulus but took stimulus money to create thousands of jobs in their districts. We sit in front of the Internet. Easy as can be to find out the names of Republicans who voted against the stimulus, created jobs, took credit for the jobs, then said the stimulus they used to create jobs didn't create any jobs. How do they keep track of all the lies?
Republicans Voting Against Stimulus Then Asked Obama for Money - Bloomberg
Alan Simpson, a former Republican senator from Wyoming named by President Barack Obama as co-chairman of a new deficit- reduction commission, said about-faces on government funding aren’t surprising.
“It’s the original sin of Washington -- it’s hypocrisy,” Simpson said. “You can’t do that then say you go out and cut the other stuff.”
Don't the citizens from the repub districts pay taxes? Why shouldn't they get gov't funding, regardless of the party their elected reps belong to. Tell me, should we only fund projects in districts where the elected rep voted for the bill? Oh yeah, that'll hold down spending.
There's no hypocrisy here, those repubs voted for what their constituents wanted and then did what they're supposed to do, fund needed projects in their districts.
Moron. No one said they shouldn't receive funds. What the fuck is wrong with you people?
The hypocrisy is voting against the package, taking the money, creating jobs AND THEN SAYING NO JOBS WERE CREATED. Get it? It's the lies that's wrong. Did that really need to be spelled out. You guys make me lose my temper with this "determined ignorance".
