credit it for turning the economy around. It wasn't large enough though, the economy recovered much too slow.
I personally knew two people at the time that owned asphalt paving companies. At the beginning of 2010 they had
absolutely no work. It paid for paving of a local highway that kept them from going bankrupt and kept their employees
working in 2010. Both are Republicans and still hate Obama and Democrats. The Republicans will take their welfare but don't think anyone
else should get guvmint money.
