Isn’t it a fact that much of the original Porkulus money still hasn’t been spent?
Do you know that the original $787 billion Porkulus could have created 15,000,000 jobs paying $50,000 a year? This is just round numbers, and I know the money goes out in gov’t contracts, not to individual employees. But still, the original Porkulus should have created millions of jobs.
That is, if simply throwing money at an issue worked in the real world, then we wouldn’t have seen unemployment spike as it has.
The bulk of stimulus has not been spent. They are saving for the election year.
