Because the same GOP that voted against the stimulus were the very ones who voted for the $800 Billion bank bailout when Bush was still in office. They're also the same ones who voted for every single spending increase in the past 8 years that pushed our Debt from $5.7 Trillion to over $11 Trillion.

Remember, earnmarks and pork were at record levels during Bush's presidency. Not until Dems took the House in '06 did Bush actually veto a bill with pork.


How is anyone to believe there's actually a difference here?
