What hath the stimulus wrought

Did Democrats catch Bob McDonnell Sunday on Meet the Press?
Nah.
Did Democrats show the only thing the stimulus did?
Yep.
The stimulus didn't boost the economy. It just shifted deficits from the states to federal government.
States didn't have to make tough spending decisions. And state officials - Democrats and Republicans - could claim credit for the money flowing from the federal government.
McDonnell is smart to claim credit. It's hard for Democrats to attack him without making themselves look bad.
