Remember Obama’s (cough) trillion dollar stimulus? Obama put Joe Biden in charge. Democrats got filthy rich on this scam.

Nobody kept track of 4,000 stimulus recipients that received $24 billion in Recovery Act funds —
(while owing more than $750 million in unpaid corporate, payroll and other taxes). Not to mention:
<><> $6B in Homeowners' stimulus energy credits showered on nearly 1/3 of credit-claimers who had no record of homeownership, including minors and prisoners.
<><> $530 million dumped into profligate Detroit public schools for laptops and other electronics that had little, if any, measurable academic benefits.
<><> the whopping $6.7 million cost per job under the $50 billion stimulus-funded green energy loan program
<><> politically connected Green companies are now bankrupt---they took the money then went belly-up
<><> remember? Solyndra ($535M), Abound Solar ($400M), Beacon Power ($43M), A123 ($250M) and Ener1 ($119M).
<><> $1 million stimulus went to Big Bird and Sesame Street “to promote healthy eating,” for a theoretical 1.47 jobs ($726,000 per job created.)
<><> hundreds of stimulus millions to govt GSA junkets in Las Vegas and Hawaii,
<><> hundreds of millions to ghost congressional districts, dead people,
<><> hundreds of millions for infrastructures to nowhere and ubiquitous stimulus propaganda road signs stamped with the shovel-ready logo.

Of course, there’s no example of unfettered stimulus squandering more fitting than the one named after Keystone Fiscal Kop Joe Biden himself. Govt-funded Amtrak’s Wilmington, Del, station raked in $20 mill in “recovery” money after heavy personal lobbying by cheerleader Joe. In return, the station (which came in $6 million over budget, according to The Wash/Times) renamed its facility after Biden.

THE LEGACY Bloated costs. Crony political narcissism. Glaring conflicts of interest. Monumental waste.
Obama/Biden/Democrat stimulus legacy bequeathed to our children and their grandchildren.
These plunderers and looters need to be run out of town on a rail.
