Dumb poll. If I were asked this question, I would have to respond that it met my expectations, because I never expected it to create jobs in the first place.

What stimulus?

I saw two trillion dollars flushed down a mystery rathole. Even had the money been spent productively it was going to do damage to the economy, and in fact it has not been spent productively. It was guaranteed from the beginning to break the dollar, and it is doing that.

What the “stimulus” has done is decrease your freedom by exactly two trillion dollars worth. This is money you would have spent pursuing your needs and your vision, spent on your priorities based on your best judgement. Now it will be spent pursuing O’s vision, and O’s priorities, and O’s best judgement. That means even if not one toxic law is passed that O has reduced your freedom dramatically. O has substituted his judgement for yours.

Now for the magic question. In return for our loss of freedom, where did the money go?

Actually, it met my expectations. My expectations were that it would be a miserable, pork ridden, money wasting failure

The Stimulus wasn’t really intended to improve the economy, although that is the lie told to get it passed.

The real purpose is to give Obama and the Democrats a slush fund of many hundreds of billions of dollars, extorted from taxpayers, to buy votes, pay off financial backers, reward campaign supporters and punish Bitter Clingers.

After January we will see Stimlus money flowing in torrents in order to help democrats win their elections next November.

But it is worth noting for those in the administration and Congress who still think all the people can be fooled all the time.

Sadly, the only evidence existing shows they are right, at least with regard to the majority.

STIMULUS SCAM---NOTHING MORE THAN A DEM SLUSH FUND 85% of Obama's stimulus is still in Washington. He's saving it for imperiled Dems' 2010-12 elections. Americans are awakening to the fact that govt insiders are mishandling trillions in stimulus------that federal monies are being illegally directed to Democrat campaign coffers, or wire-transferred offshore into personal accounts......or being laundered in the states.

$17.5 BILLION STIM WAS HIDDEN IN NJ Obama hid $17.5 BILLION stim in NJ. Some of it was supposed to reelect Corzine....but that idea flopped via the voters backlash. Anyway, Obama and the Biden family have a nice stash in the Garden State. Luckily Corzne once headed Goldman Sachs and knows "the ropes" for looting and pillaging.

REFERENCE On June 9, 2009 Ohaha called a press conference to announce, "Several financial institutions are set to pay back $68B to taxpayers." Resonable people (taxpayers) assumed that any money or profit would be returned to the general funds from whence it had come .......in order to pay down the debt. The truth, however, is that the money returned by the banks is finding new life as part of what amounts to a Treasury Dept-controlled slush fund.

Obama's pork-laden stimulus, and other wasteful spending, isn't doing much good. US unemployment keep rising to levels not seen in decades, w/ scant hope of a rebound. We can safely conclude that creating jobs was NOT the reason for Ohaha's trillion dollar stimulus.

We need audits, WH cell phone records, computer links, wire-transfers, and bank records to keep track of the stimulus (our tax dollars).

"Fully two-thirds (66%) of those surveyed in the latest IBD/TIPP Poll said the stimulus has fallen short of their expectations in creating jobs."

And there's one-third who think it worked fabulously. LOL
