Spendulus update
Well I thought I would never see the day, but I have to hand it to the current regime. They are really good at spending other people's money. Despite complaints by the Republicans about Stimulus bucks not being spent fast enough the Dems seem to be on track to spend it in accordance with their original plan.
According to recovery.gov and confirmed by Politifact.com the Dems have spent $157B of OPM as of June. Their original plan was to have $236B spent by the beginning of 2010 per the breakdown below that I have published previously. I don't agree with the spendulus. I think it was a bad idea from the start and it's filled with pork (updated by Sen Dr Tom Coburn on a weekly basis).
The republicans need to find something more factual to stand on than "their not spending fast enough." I mean really? I'm sure they can spend us into poverty faster than they are doing if we challenge them and they try harder.
