The Stimulus did not Create a Single Job

"The Stimulus did not Create a Single Job"

One need not dig too deep to find a Republican who will agree with that statement.

It is peculiar that a $300+ Billion tax cut was unable to create a single job.

those folks just aren't the "job creators." They're just poor people with bigger homes.

Anyone with less than about $50 million in liquid assets is a drain on society.
