Did Obama Say His “Economic Stimulus” Bill Is Part Of The Problem?
Yesterday Obama took a shot at the tea party protesters, but what I found a whole lot more interesting than his petty mischaracterizations of those who disagree with him is what he said about his “economic stimulus” bill. Listen carefully when he says that we shouldn’t pretend as though the “recovery act” (the “stimulus” spending spree) is causing the economic down turn.
Right after that he says it’s “only a fraction of the problem.” Which, to me, is a tacit admission that the spending is a part of the problem.
I’m glad Obama is finally admitting the obvious. The spending spree he’s been on isn’t helping. It’s hurting. Apparently he disagrees with we conservatives on the scope of the problem, but maybe we can finally admit that the government can’t spend the economy back to good health?
Somehow, I doubt it. This was probably just Obama’s “gift” at work again.
