A good two-thirds of the so-called stimulus wasn't, because it has not yet been spent (and, aren't we being told that the recession is over???). The fact was that it was largely political payoffs (e.g. $30M of *your* tax dollars to study the habits of the marsh mouse in Pelosi's district), and is due to kick in in the months leading up to the 2010 mid-terms. With the passage of healthcare and cap & tax, the Dems will need all the help they can get. The average American is mad as hell and is not going to take this anymore.
Kind regards, -CAPT J
