Your Stimulus Dollars At Work

I'm so glad we spent a huge amount of money we don't have to fix everything that's wrong with the economy. Let's see how well it's going. [Link]

Oh dear. And I’m serious – I expected the numbers to flatten out like it looked like they were going to a few days ago. This trend is terrible – the unemployment rate change was 60% higher than what was predicted, and is a larger increase than from March to April.

It's a good thing most of the Stimulus money hasn't been spent yet, and isn't going to be spent until the second half of 2010 at the earliest. It's almost as if the Stimulus bill was a cynical ploy to increase the size of government.
