The problem with accepting the stimulus money was that no attempt was made to fix the underlying problem of over spending.

Nothing more than Crist’s effort to buy votes. He used the money to pay teachers. How convenient.

School systems are filled with waste and fraud that is never addressed because the unions start to scream about ‘hurting the children’.

Every town and state budget is filled with expenses for cronies on the payroll. Even when hiring freezes are in place cronies seem to find their way onto the payroll, Relatives, political hacks, and assorted other useless people are hired at the expense of the taxpayers.

You do not understand. government is not in business to make a profit. government's motive is power. government does not care about making a profit, the best way to use money, the productivity of a system. their entire motive to spend money is to further their power.

waste,fraud and abuse is a feature of the system not a bug. therefore ANY government program is bound to fail in terms of economic standards. however if it gives the politician one vote it is considered a success in their eyes.

The $800 billion stimulus is considered a success by the dems because while it did not create jobs, fix the economy etc it did buy them some votes and give them power to twist others arms to further their thirst for power.

Politicians will spend whatever it takes for any increase In their power.
