President Obama signed the $787 billion stimulus bill into law
Repubs quickly denounced it as a waist of money and were saying that it would not turn the economy around and backed it up with the horse "Nay" and the
Rep national chairman Michael steel saying that it would not turn the economy around.
Something believed by all repubs. Did they hope that obama failed in turning the economy around when we were all in a recession
yes as if he succeeded then he would be reelected
Rush limbaugh in 2007 ," I hope he fails" as he lambasted his fellow repubs who voted for it
OB was working on getting the US out of this recession
That is how the right looks out for you
but to be fair both sides do it and it is not just one side. Its politics and if one side always won then we would have one political party much like the communist and socialist
changing the subject are we
The point was that leading repubs wanted the stimulus to fail from day one
when the US was in a recession
the same point you were making about BH
but the same think happen in 2009

"President Obama signed the $787 billion stimulus bill into law"
The bill was a kick-back to unions and donors, never benefited the nation, and Hussein had to admit he lied when he said there were 'shovel ready jobs.'

changing the subject
Your subject topic was how Maher said something
well I showed where repubs said the same think
Hoping that the stimulus would fail day one when the US was in a recession
Yet you repeat that and make my point clearly
You just quote a story but offer no talking points which I could refute but I understand your a busy girl with all your post.
The stimulus package did what it suppose to do which was end the recession and after that the economy took off and improve more over OB run than during Trump who just inherited the good times
I know that it does annoy you that it was a success but hey move on
The economic stimulus package ended the
Great Recession by spurring consumer spending. Most importantly, it instilled the confidence needed to boost
economic growth. It also aimed to restore trust in the financial services industry. It limited bonuses for senior executives in companies that received the
Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) funds
$68 billion went toward tax relief and credits. Another was spent on $34 billion in health services and $21 billion on education.
How is that a failure
The stimulus was successful in 2009 GDP. The economy grew 1.7% in the third quarter and 3.8% in the fourth quarter. That's a big improvement over the first quarter's 6.7% drop and the second quarter's 0.7% decline
The proof is in the pudding
The package inspired the people that things was turned around and the good times are here
stimulus for small business to increase loans and reduce capital gain, yeah I know as a repub you would have like to see it more gear toward big business getting the breaks
The package made it easy to build road and infrastructure which benefit the public
Money went to large banks, does that make you happy
tax write offs for small business , for the little man
yet the repubs wished for it to fail and you just repeat it which proves my point
