I'm not convinced that was done here at all, and if you have watched Obama's recent interviews, even he has acknowledged that the stimulus isn't exactly what he had originally anticipated.

While you're waiting for "proof",
unemployment now sits at 7.6%. How long do you want to wait? And yes, the burden is on you to argue against this, because those of us who support it know that right now, we just need to get people back to work. Do you know what the word
contraction means, in terms of the economy? Because that's what were dealing with. How do you fix that? Spending.
Read the bill. I think most of it makes sense. Tell me what doesn't. Don't just be a dittohead. It sounds like you've let talk radio and Fox News tell you what you need to know about the bill - and that's all. DYODD.
