With unemployment rates rising in early 2009, the White House disguised a spending bill as a job creator to put Americans back to work. The ‘stimulus’ has been a failure since day one.

White House expectations of job creation from this flawed legislation fell flat and we’re experiencing more unintended consequences from this as described in the Weekly Standard.
