I'm sorry but do conservatives have no ability to remember anything beyond last week?
Two years ago, our economy was collapsing. Financial institutions and production industries were ready to close their doors. We were looking at the second Great Depression.
Today, the economy is recovering but the growth is sluggish. It's not great but it's a much better than what Obama inherited.
Why do you say the stimulus didn't work?
Now compare that to the Bush record. Tax cuts managed to produce no new jobs to the economy, the overall economy was sluggish compared to the Clinton years and his grand finale was the collapse.
Empirical evidence indicates that tax cuts don't stimulate the economy while stimulus spending does.
