How can something work when when a majority of the funds haven't even been released?
That $800 billion in “stimulus funds” is Zer0’s walkin’ around money.
He spent $3.5 billion on “green car research” a couple weeks ago, and last week dedicated another several $billion$ to “affordable rental housing.”
Basically the $800 billion can be used for whatever Zer0 thinks is a cool idea.
No further checks. No further balances.

My point exactly. Obama shoved through the stimulus in record time, because it had to be done in record time to save the economy. People gave him the benefit of the doubt. Then they find out 80% of it isn’t scheduled to be spent until several years into the future.
People are dumb, but they aren’t stupid. They know money scheduled to be spent several years from now isn’t helping the economy today.
And then Obama started talking about needing a second stimulus package.
Fool me once... is such a well know saying that I don’t even have to finish it. The American public is now applying it to Obama.
Not dealing straight with the public on the stimulus is what has lost him the trust of the American people. Now they don’t trust him to deal straight on health care, and are examining everything in detail.
