Congressional Democrats complaining about stimulus spending

Thursday July 9, 2009

Categories: Economy, Politics

How in the world does this statement make any sense:

@markknoller Administration is taking heat, even from Congressional Democrats, that stimulus money not being spent fast enough to create jobs.
I just love the way that they shift blame. We call the stimulus package, Obama's stimulus package because he got Congress to pass it but we all know the details belong to Congress. How can they complain that the money isn't being spent fast enough when they are the ones who created the timetable?

And BTW, this was criticism of the plan at the time. They're a little late getting a clue, huh?

Update: Here's Murtha passing the buck:

Murtha admitted that it's been several months since the package was approved and "we haven't seen any results." He said Rendell wants to make sure the money goes to the right place.

Murtha said he would not have created the stimulus package the way President Barack Obama designed it. He said he would have had more infrastructure projects in the package.

Maybe he should blame the committees instead:
"None of us have the time to read every bill," Murtha said. "We depend on the committee responsible for it."
