The people have spoken. Deficits matter. Foreign wars matter. Education matters. But jobs trump everything else.
I'm conflicted about the role of the stimulus package (ARRA) in our recent recession/recovery. When my Republican friends promised me that the Bush tax cuts would "spur furious growth that we haven't seen in decades" they were incredibly wrong. Unrepentant, but wrong.
The non-partisan CBO seems to indicate ARRA was a great thing:
