Obama’s stimulus plan was supposed to stimulate the economy and create jobs. Due to what we’ve found out in the latest reports, it’s no wonder that the stimulus plan isn’t working:
– The Social Security Administration (SSA) issued more than 72,000 checks ($18 million) to deceased Americans. I wonder how Obama thought that they would help to stimulate the economy by spending their money.
– The SSA also issued more than 17,000 checks ($4 million) to criminals behind bars. How does rewarding our criminals stimulate the economy?
– Many of the projects to replace the Main street sidewalks in small towns across the country were so poorly designed and constructed that they had to be re-done. Maybe Obama thought that he could create twice the number of jobs through rework.
– Over $100 billion of the stimulus money cannot be accounted for. My guess is that it went to the lobbyists, and Chicago-style gangsters.
It is a shame that our elected officials let this kind of thing go on. so sad.
