“Why didn’t Porkulus create tons of new jobs?”
Because it was crafted in the 6 months prior by Daschle et al, in back rooms, anticipating that Obama would be elected.
It basically was the omnibus spending plan for every idea the Dems wanted over the next 4 years. The Dems simply used the crisis to get it passed.
Actully porkulus was more about buying votes than anything else.
