Why was it good that Bush sent people cash directly last year, but bad that Obama funds programs?
Bush sent out stimulus checks DIRECTLY to people who filed income tax returns in 2007. That's the definition of redistribution of wealth and socialism. Besides, most of that money went into banks and credit card companies to pay down debt, which does not stimulate the economy.
Now, Obama starts funding programs with the intent of creating jobs and spending in the private sector, and HE'S the bad guy?
I don't think you're understanding the question. How is it consistent to say the guy who funds programs is a socialist, but the guy who gave people cold hard cash directly from the treasury isn't? It's ridiculous and the only reason Bush gets a pass is that he's a Republican.
