I just have to shake my head when leftists scream about cost now that Obama is out:
Obama spent $830 billion on a "stimulus" package the White House sold it as a way to keep unemployment from rising above 8 percent. The stimulus failed on its own terms. 2009 marked the first of four straight years when unemployment averaged more than 8 percent.). $10 trillion was added to the national debt during Obama's watch, and the fed printed around $4.5 trillion under Obama nominated chairmen.
Let's not forget Obama's broken window fallacy: Cash for Clunkers costs taxpayers $24,000 per car
Let's also not forget leftist's darling economist said "Debt doesn't matter."
