Major Update: Here is a must read report from CBO telling the truth about the failed ‘stimulus’ experiment. A key finding: ARRA included a number of greatly expanded or brand new programs, which slows spend-out. Translation: the government is too damn slow and lethargic to stimulate the economy – therefore unemployment will continue to get worse […]

As a recently deputized monitor for the stimulus efforts by the Federal Government, I have been posting regularly on the fact the ‘shovel ready’ stimulus money to create jobs passed last February is stuck in the sluggish federal bureaucracy.
