Obama even delighted in recounting a section of his State of the Union address last month in which he talked of the tax cuts from the stimulus plan and watched Republican lawmakers fail to applaud the idea.
"They were all kind of squirming in their seats ... It was interesting to watch," Obama said.
Yeah, I wouldn't rush to my feet to just clap about an extra $13 in your paycheck either. I still think they should have just took that $787 billion and divided it evenly among every tax payer in the form of a check for $2000. Then used the left over and given it to the states or something.
Imagine all of the debt that could have been paid off with that money alone. A family with a few kids could get rid of all of their credit card debt in one fell swoop. Even if people saved the money (which I would have done) it would have been a pretty easy way to create some cushion for many people. Some people would have blown it on a TV or something but that is still "stimulus."
