CNN Poll: 3 of 4 Americans Say Stimulus Money Wasted

Why would the public be in any position to know whether or not the stimulus money was wasted?

 

none of these statistics suggest that Americans now view Obama as a complete failure. The highest percentage of any topic is 63%. That is not 'complete'

polls suck anyway.

 

I'm an Obama voter and I think that projects were included in the plan for purely political reasons. Like the 46% of it that went to tax cuts.

I'd fall into the 29% that thinks about half of it was wasted -- again the half on tax cuts.

They shouldn't have bothered with sops to the GOP in the stimulus. We could have shaved 300 million of the cost if we hadn't put in tax cuts that did nothing to stimulate the economy.

 

Why do you do that? Add a title that is not listed in the article. Do you enjoy people taking shots at you all the time. I don't think Obama has done anything significant in his office and I have never been a supporter of his, but they way you present you material makes you lose all credibility.

 

It must suck to have no interface with reality.

Where most of us live, on Earth, he is neither a hero nor a sham, just a dude doing some good things and doing some bad things as he takes on a difficult job in a difficult time.

But pretending your fell enemies, the lazy liberal socialists, the root of all that is bad and wrong, are also worshipping Obama must help you simplify your world view even further.

it's kind of like a black hole. Your view is so dense that it's collapsed to a single point. In this case your posts are just little occasional spurts of random Hawking radiation, relevant only to measuring your temperature and entropy.

 

What sucks is voting for Obama with my eyes wide open, praying that the GOP comes to its' senses, only to watch them consistently succumb to the most insane extremist element of their party time and time again. I'd love it if there were an actual conservative running. But there isn't, and there won't be. 'Till then I'll take the ones who actually have some plan for running the government. It beats voting for people who promise to shrink it and then add more layers.

I do not regret my vote for Obama. McCain and Palin would have destroyed this country. I don't think they would have done anything differently wrt the bailout and stimulus, and I suspect they would have "liberated" Iran on top of it. No thanks.

 

the way this year is starting

i got shovel face taking over the top stop on threads started

 

For some reason I find black holes very interesting. Shovel face isn't as interesting but interesting in for the reasons you mentioned in your post.

Though sadly a lot of the interesting part leaves should he turn out to be a fictional character much like TJ was. I say the odds are even that he is somebody's created persona for them to play like they are Colbert.

 

Did I miss something or is basso undergoing some microfracture carpel tunnel surgery?

My RSS to his daily musings must've overloaded.

 

The problem is the public can't even begin to understand even basic economic theory.

 

Well the problem is neither did most of the people who were experts at it.

 

It's true, and the administration has not done a good job communicating the stim. package.

AND they spent a boatload on future economic health types of things (like pouring money into more basic scientific research.)

 

Just another skewed poll instigated by the conservative media.

 

most of the stimulus money hasn't even been spent yet.

 

granted and spent are two different things. but yes, that is correct.

 

cnn?

 

Thread title/content matching not your strong point, eh shovelfail?

 

is that the best you could come up with?
