Stimulus jobs certainly do exist

sure, there were good things. but i recall one of the first things that happened when obama took office were across the board budget increases in govt offices. a stimulus may help, but the size and scope of what they passed...doing something is not the same thing as doing the right thing.

but if riot can't understand my skepticism, maybe this article will explain where some of my doubts come from:

if leading economists can't figure out what next...why should i think that everything is going to be just peachy? what am i supposed to think about the CBO announcing that the obama numbers aren't right-that the deficit will be even larger by 2020 than initially thought? why isn't paul ryan's manifesto getting some scrutiny?


why are we building an embassy that's expected to cost a billion dollars?!?!
