What I think is that a huge part of the spending is put off until election years, and that the Rs would be stupid not to point it out, repeatedly. Even if you think it is part of the dynamics of stimulus you understand and have posted that it should be getting into the economy faster than it is. I believe that while some may be understood as part of those "dynamics" that there was direct mucking with it to ensure that it would benefit most during election cycles.Do you really think that is why the spending is so protracted...because they are "playing politics"?
I'm not trying to be in your face here, but do you fully understand the dynamics of stimulus spending?
They should especially and particularly speak of it while they are thinking of creating a second stimulus before the money from the first even hits the market. There is no excuse for that kind of warped nonsense. The first stimulus must begin before we ever think of another spree like this. Shoot 67% of Americans polled said they wanted to have the money go back because it wasn't being spent... If the Rs don't take advantage of those kind of numbers and what seems to be obvious play with stimulus spending then they don't deserve to be a political party.
