Stimulus: The Sequel

The Center for Freedom and Prosperity has a great new video, analyzing 1)Whether the 2009 stimulus created jobs, and 2) Why politicians are craving another stimulus.

My only quibble is that it should be called Stimulus III, not Stimulus II, as the first stimulus was passed in 2008 under George W. Bush (though they don’t shy away from noting Obama’s spending is just a continuation of the Bush policies).
