It is going to take YEARS before we recover.
Want to know why we think that? Because we were told that. By Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Reid, the whole crooked lying bunch of them. Remember when congress didn't have time to read it? It had to pass immediately to save the country?

The sure were quick at getting it signed. Why is that? Maybe because had everyone had a chance to digest what the stimulus really was it wouldn't have come close to passing. Even when it was passed more than half of all Americans were against it.

Sometimes you have to think a bit further than the typical Bush's fault, repukes, republitards, cuntservatives shtick.

Barack Obama is not King Midas.

While simultaneously 100 buttloads of jobs were lost. If the stimulus has created so many jobs, why has unemployment continued to rise...a lot? Shouldn't it have at the very least stabilized and held steady? (even though we were promised declining unemployment) The San Diego UT newspaper is just now running a story about how some of the money is on it's way and lists 5 or 6 things that will be done with it. Half of which are crap...the other half could be argued as crap.

$5 million to install new energy-efficient signs? So how many years until those new signs save the city $5 million on their electricity bill?

$2.6 million to conduct research about social phobias? I have a phobia about government spending getting out of control. Government spending to study that just exacerbates it.

Millions in stimulus funding headed to region
