It's been a year since the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (aka the Democratic Stimulus) was passed by the House, the Senate and signed by President Obama. Yet we've rarely heard the Democrats in Louisiana stand up for the stimulus ... until now.
The Spinning Sinning Senator has been gallivanting across Northern Louisiana telling folks that he thinks the Democratic Stimulus was a waste of money that only sent less than 4% of the $787 billion Democratic stimulus home to Louisiana. Well, that "less than 4%" is equal to $2,500,000,000 dollars. That's a whole lotta zerooooooooes. And, it's 10% of Governor PBJ's budget this year. I don't think we've heard a peep from the Governor about how he won't take that money, have we?
And the Louisiana Democratic Party put out this timely web video asking the Spinning Sinning Senator to tell Northern Louisiana which of the projects the Democratic stimulus is funding up there that he'd cut:
