Obama Democrats Waste Stimulus Money

The trillion dollar stimulus package has been a colossal failure.  Socialist Barack Hussein Obama told America he had to have the stimulus package to keep unemployment from going over 8%.  Unemployment has been around 9.5% for over a year.  The Democrats including Obama tell us it may go higher before it drops.

Maybe it wouldn’t be so high if the stimulus money had been used properly.  They are spending $62 million on a tunnel to nowhere in Pittsburgh, Pa., $89,000 on a sidewalk that leads to a ditch in Boynton, Okla., and almost $200,000 to study voter perception of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, better known as the stimulus act, from which these other projects are funded.

The report released on Tuesday by the offices of Republican Senators John McCain of Arizona and Tom Coburn of Oklahoma. Both Coburn and McCain, the Republican presidential nominee in 2008, opposed the stimulus bill backed by Obama.

The $862-billion stimulus bill was signed into law by Obama in February 2009.  White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs scoffed at the Republicans' report. “This has much more to do with politics,” Gibbs said.

“Eighteen months since the passage of the stimulus bill, millions of jobs are still gone and the economy is as uncertain as ever,” Coburn and McCain wrote in the report. “The only thing getting a boost is our national debt. The stimulus has helped push it 23 percent higher, to $13.2 trillion, a new record.”

Gibbs insists that the stimulus act is working, adding that Vice President Joe Biden is still overseeing the expenditures. “Every day the vice president and the vice president’s staff work diligently to assure that projects that receive funding abide by certain standards, all available on the Internet, a level of transparency not seen in government programs, particularly those with the magnitude of this,” Gibbs said.
The stimulus package is a dismal failure.  In the coming days we will expose more wasted money spent in the stimulus package.
