45% of Americans Say Cancel Rest of Stimulus Spending!

Putting aside the fact, for a moment, that the someone in the world had actually created a metric by which to measure “Saved or Created” jobs, and the 600,000 number Team Obama keeps espousing is legit… Given that fact that “government reports have shown the economy has lost more than 1.6 million jobs since Congress approved funding for the program in February”, This would mean that for every job “Saved or Created”, 2.66 jobs were lost!!!

Now that is putting lipstick on a pig!

To accompany that bit of high comedy coming from the White House is Rasmussen Reports 45% Say Cancel Rest of Stimulus Spending:

Forty-five percent (45%) of Americans say the rest of the new government spending authorized in the $787-billion economic stimulus plan should now be canceled. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that just 36% disagree and 20% are not sure.

According to news reports, only $36 billion of the stimulus plan had been spent as of late May.

Just 20% of adults say the tax cuts included in the stimulus plan should be canceled while 55% disagree. The stimulus plan includes $288 billion in tax cuts.

While there is a wide partisan gap on the question of stimulus spending, there is little partisan disagreement on maintaining the tax cuts.

President Obama on Monday vowed to speed up the pace of stimulus spending and said the money will help “create or save” 600,000 more jobs this summer.

However, only 31% of Americans believe the new government spending in the stimulus package creates new jobs. Forty-eight percent (48%) say the stimulus spending does not create jobs, and 21% are not sure.

Here’s a big shocker from the report — “A plurality of government employees believe speeding up the stimulus will be good for the economy. However, those who work in the private sector strongly disagree.”

Stimulus, the other spending bills, and power grabs in this administrations Fabian Socialist agenda all equal… FAIL!
