On Stimulus and Job Losses

The 1st Congressional District Democrats have elected a new chairman, one Mark Pienkos.

From the Racine Post:

"Refering to yesterday's news that Chrysler's engine plant will close as part of the auto company's reorganization, Pienkos said, "Kenosha is losing jobs. Paul Ryan needs to answer for that."

"It all comes down to his stimulus vote," said Pienkos, a school superintendent. "Paul Ryan voted against this bill, against the 500,000 people per month who are losing their jobs."

Now wait one second Mr. Pienkos. Ryan's vote on the stimulus package matters not. It passed without his vote. The (mislabeled) stimulus package passed and was supposed to save or create millions of jobs. If it isn't working, as you suggest, wouldn't it make more sense to blame the people who voted for a very expensive stimulus bill that isn't stimulating?

That is laughable. Where is the logic?

The only stimulus I liked was the one someone was forwarding around on email. Give 40 Million 55 year olds a million dollars each to retire. 40 million jobs open. (unemployment lessened) Require they buy a new car. (stimulates car manufacturing), require they buy a house, stimulates housing.
