Only $44 million of the program’s unprecedented $787 billion has been spent, which amounts to a shabby 5 percent. An analysis of stimulus spending by The Associated Press found the money going to the most economically comfortable parts of the country, instead of the least. The study, published in April, concluded that “no matter how the early money is measured, communities suffering most fare the worst.”
And then there were those new Gallup poll numbers showing Americans are increasingly concerned about the new administration’s deficit spending. Majorities now disapprove of Obama’s handling of the federal budget deficit and federal spending.
