Yes.

Do you know the measured rate of waste and fraud for the stimulus? It was probably the most carefully monitored government dispersal of money in our modern lifetime.

By the way, Bush handed over billions and billions and billions of dollars to the bank with TARP, with zero - ZERO - accountability. That did not happen with the stimulus.

Oh - and we are still missing billions that disappeared in Iraq, too.

I think that's what you really want to be outraged at - not the stimulus, which was very carefully managed.

What do you suggest? "Obama campaign stimulus spin control"?

Facts are the facts - it has been a nightmare. He borrows money from China to pay for it, they fail, then China buys the debt back for half price. Oh, wait - nope he blocked that too, so now it's a complete loss.

The most unelectable, stuffed shirted, white homophobe in the history of modern politics is now beating him in virtually every swing state in the country.

That's quite an accomplishment.

No. Try "stimulus.gov" or "stimulus bloomberg forbes" etc.

1) Do you have any idea who owns most of our debt? Hint: China ain't your worry.

2) No, the stimulus was definitely not "a nightmare". That's absurd. The stimulus was a measured success. Fact.

What imaginary polls are you looking at?

Seriously, Joey - you need a more objective news source for some balance

PS - before your time, but Nixon was the worse racist against ... everybody. Awful, hate-filled man. And Pat Robertson makes Santorum look like a liberal.

What was the government's rate of return on TARP? Did the government lose money on TARP? Did the bank's pay interest? Do you know how much interest?

Please give us the measured rate. Don't make us find it, share your data.
