You can do the same google I did and get the congressional budget office, and various watchdog organizations, but the numbers are the same. Not a secret.

Not denying the numbers, just making an observation...

Here's a few that all have the figures, and all you have to do is google budget bush to get thousands of hits. It's not a secret <vbg>

2008 Budget deficit surges to all-time high

2008 Budget deficit doubles 2007

If you're honest, Clinton had a "paper" surplus, largely due to his raping of the military and intelligence budgets!

According to a Rasmussen poll, more voters now trust Republicans more than Democrats to handle the economy, by a margin of 45-39. Scott Rasmussen notes that “this is the first time in over two years of polling that the GOP has held the advantage on this issue.” Last month, he had the Democrats holding a one-point lead, but they lost it in June’s polling.

Guess all that whining is paying off?

Only $44 million of the program’s unprecedented $787 billion has been spent, which amounts to a shabby 5 percent. An analysis of stimulus spending by The Associated Press found the money going to the most economically comfortable parts of the country, instead of the least. The study, published in April, concluded that “no matter how the early money is measured, communities suffering most fare the worst.”

And then there were those new Gallup poll numbers showing Americans are increasingly concerned about the new administration’s deficit spending. Majorities now disapprove of Obama’s handling of the federal budget deficit and federal spending.

Yes, a "paper" surplus, while Bush created a massive "paper" deficit.

Your point?

Yes, the vast majority of the money hasn't been used yet. Better tell Palin to take that stimulus money, and not turn it down

BTW, ask Mitch McConnell what he did with Kentucky's stimulus money?

Then don't wonder why we don't get slot machine gambling in KY.

We'll see. You'll have to look up the current Rasmussen numbers on "total number of people who call themselves Republicans" to see that

Figured at least there could be an exhibit about how the Bible 100% accurately predicts that Obama is the anti-christ and the rapture is going to happen now that Obama is the president.

And anyone who has ever read the Bible knows this is going to happen because Revelations says so.

We are already "seeing" based on the poll numbers.

Yes the money hasn't been used yet. Why? Political reasons.
You do understand that much of that "stimlus" money is going to put the states in very poor financial shape after those temporary funds run out yet the political mandates involved are made permanent? You do realize that many states are being given money to use in areas that they dont need? You do understand that they arent able to use it where they want to?

You do understand that some states - like ours - are trying to cheat and get and use that stimulus money for what it is not intended for?

Yeah - you want the money, here is what you can use it for. So sorry there are rules.
