I think that stimulus became part of the baseline spending, and thus we now spend that extra 800 billion every year. This is why the senate has refused to prepare any budget since then. If they did, us poor folk would realize the scam.
failure!........stolen goods
In my mind, the correct question is: Who can spend my money better; me or the gov’t? I can promise you my money wouldn’t go to Solindra, the Chevy Volt, or a bunch deadbeats who want a free cell phone. Now, a poll worker in Cincinnati admits to voting “multiple times” in the 2012 election, and calls herself a “freedom fighter” because of it. (If they don’t throw her butt in jail, this Republic is done.) Our gov’t takes almost a third of GNP and we’re in the toilet. And what’s the fastest growing economy today? Chile, whose gov’t takes about 5% of GNP. Kinda says something...
