OK USMB. Explain to me why the Republicans in the posts above are such tards. Please. It's easy to go look up how that very small stimulus was spent:
Here s How Obama Spent 792 Billion On Fiscal Stimulus - Business Insider
They are such stupid *****. Can anyone explain how they got that way? Or were they always lazy tards?
Here is even more detail:

And what did Obama do trying to get GOP support? Made 1/3rd of the bill ******* tax cuts:
Stewart claims that the stimulus bill is one-third tax cuts PolitiFact
******* worthless GOP tax cuts. Every time the GOP gives America tax cuts, most of the cuts go to the very rich and our deficit grows like wild fire. It's the promise of a few bucks. America falls for it again and again and the GOP sells the same rotten deal again and again. Such dirty people. Enemies of this country.
$792 is a "small stimulus"?
Yeah, let's look at that.
Here s How Obama Spent 792 Billion On Fiscal Stimulus - Business Insider
This is the link you just posted. So I'm using YOUR information.
$37 Billion to Food Stamps and other welfare programs.
$48 Billion on education.
$324 Million on "accountability" which paid the GAO, the Inspector General, and other government people.
$58 Billion to bail out states and local governments that were spending more than they collected. Including Food Stamps.
$42 Billion on "Green Energy", grants to major corporations to produce "green energy" or to add solar panels to a government building.
$13 Billion to National Science Foundation (gov), and National Telecommunications and Information Administration (gov).
$19 Billion for 'health care', which happens to include the Department of Health and Human Services (gov).
$870 Million for business, like the Small Business Administration, and Co-Op Services. (gov)
$2.1 Billion for.... National Endowment for the Arts.... Census Bureau... Filipino WW2 Compensation... (gov,gov, huh?)
$3 Billion Cash for Clunkers
$48 Billion subsidies for Clean Water, Low-Income rent, and Amtrak.
$26 Billion for "Youth Employment" (there's a winner), Police, and Education Jobs. (gov)
$79 Billion for COBRA, and Unemployment Comp.
$34 Billion for MORE Unemployment Comp
$30 Billion for MORE Small Business 'incentives'. (fail)
Now, we finally get to the real "Infrastructure spending".
$93 Billion for "Transportation and Infrastructure".
But get this... it really didn't go to that.
Only $27 Billion went to highways.
Only $8 Billion went to 'high speed rail'.
Where did the rest go? Low income housing credit.... (credit?), and National Park Service? (now that's critical), Safe Drinking water? (how many in the US have died from lack of safe drinking water?)
So we have roughly $35 Billion spent on 'infrastructure', out of $787 Billion.
SO I ASK AGAIN......
If you are this incompetent.... If the left-wing side is so utterly incapable of doing anything of value with the money you spent..... wouldn't we WANT the republicans to prevent you from blowing more money?
Oh, I thought you said we need infrastructure spending? If let you blow more money, how do we know you won't give it away for Food Stamps, and then demand more money?
