take a look at the attitude from the top. with the stimulus package, Obama cut the republicans out of the planning process. He said we don't have time for negotiations, we have to get this done. With the ACA, he told republicans, get on board because we're doing this with you or without you. When it came to the debt ceiling he said, we will not negotiate. Obama and his administration have made it very clear they are not willing to compromise and are not open to alternative ideas or ideas that are contrary to their agenda. He has gone on to say the American people have given him a mandate because they elected him twice by a vast majority.
But what has he done with his one sided agenda? The stimulus = a complete and total failure. unemployment is not getting lower. jobs are not being created, look at what is happening on the global market. manufacturing jobs are leaving China at an amazing rate. with increased labor rates, increased fuel and shipping rates, tariffs, China is losing its competitive edge. Are those jobs coming back here? No. But what else has happened? as Obama stands on his pulpit blasting bush for sending jobs off shore, one of our strongest domestic industries, the aerospace industry has been off shored to Mexico. Obama's crowning policy, the ACA is a total disaster. It has made things worse for more americcans than it has benefited. Healthcare costs are spiraling out of control. The ACA is nothing more than a giant entitlement program that has completely turned control of the healthcare industry over to the insurance companies and corporations. The deficit has mushroomed. Who is really better off today because of Obama's efforts? Not many. only the rich. the rich are the only ones to benefit from the rising market. the rich have capitalized on undervalued stocks, undervalued properties and undervalued goods.
This administrations policies do not work for America. why would we ever want more of it passed?
1/3 to 1/2 of stimulus was tax cuts to placate the Republicans.
Worse, because the stimulus worked, Republicans tried to take credit for it.

GOP STIMULUS HYPOCRISY GETS EVEN MORE EMBARRASSING..
Two weeks ago, the Washington Times found that "more than a dozen" Republican lawmakers, all of whom insisted that the stimulus package was an awful idea that couldn't possibly help the economy, privately urged the Department of Agriculture to send stimulus money to their states and districts, touting the investments' economic benefits. Last week, the Wall Street Journal moved the ball forward, pointing to "more than a dozen" GOP lawmakers who privately sought stimulus money from the Department of Labor, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Forest Service.
