In 2009, the Democratic-controlled Congress and White House authorized $787 billion in stimulus spending, which was intended to rescue the U.S. economy from spiraling into a free fall.
But nearly two and a half years later, unemployment is still hovering near double digits and policymakers are still scratching their heads trying to determine what the proper government response to the economy should be.
During the online “Green Room” segment of ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday, Huffington Post founder Arianna Huffington proposed even more stimulus spending as an answer.

If we'd just ponied up a couple $ trillion, it probably would have worked./s

liberals and raising taxes are like flies and sh*t, they both go hand in hand.
She probably thinks it wasn’t big enough
Please, someone hand Arianna her medication or take her to be evaluated by a panel of psychiatrists, at the university level.
But Olivah, vouldn't a little more make zings bettuh?
of course it failed. he gave the money to the WRONG people
Never seems to occur to these zero-sum LW types like Arianna Huffington that if there were a few trillion excess dollars laying around for LW-style Porkulus packages that the economy wouldn’t be needing stimulation in the first place.
This dizzy broad is out of her mind. The left is either out of credible talking points to defend Obummers awful economy or Zsa Zsa is at good at understanding how the economy works as she is at picking straight men to marry.
Arianna Huffington: “I’ll say whatever I have to say and take whatever position I have to (including some Kama Sutra ones) to pimp my blog and up my celebrity.”
AH is just an older version of Lady Gaga. Why anyone ever thought she had something intelligent or original to say is completely beyond me. I know why: It is this phenomenon of having an accent. You have to listen closely to understand what she is saying, you have to work at it. In the process, you are too busy working to understand what she is saying to call “BS”. By the time you digest what she is saying and come to the conclusion that she is a nincompoop, it’s too late....what has been heard can not be unheard.

“Why are we still over 9 percent unemployment if it is such a great stimulus?”
wORTH REPEATING
A large portion of the stimulus funds went to Congressional Districts that do not currently exist.
It is very difficult to measure the economic impact of stimulus funding on non existent Congressional District
Thats good to know rdcbn. Thanks for posting.
Ya think Arianna??? No sh*t you friggin’ moron.
Arianna didn’t get off on Bammy’s package? Says it wasn’t big enough? Failed to stimulate her?
I could go all day (unlike Bammy, apparently).
OK. I’ll quit now.
Totally OT, but a Ella Fitzgerald version of that Jobim tune is also on Youtube, and it’s excellent. I’m thinking of the version from the 60s.
For Lefties and Progressive’s the solution or plan is NEVER the weak link, the failure is rooted in the finding that we did not go big enough, or that the people driving the stimulus program were not smart enough.
Therefore, we need another, this time bigger, stimulus.
