Stimulus?
Its things like these that erode credibility when it comes time for the American public to be asked to write checks for something like Obamacare.
The President’s four year term offers shelter but all you have to do is watch Congress to see how well the public is handling things. What we’re seeing is representatives backing down from the grander ambitions of the Obamacare plan especially since the Administration has apparently tried to shelter itself by leaving members of Congress up to the task of writing the legislation (some leadership, eh?). You can get away with that with 60 percent approval ratings and while the public is still mightily angry with your predecessor, but those in Congress are under the gun with re-election thoughts never far from view.
All the more reason to embrace the tremendous wisdom and foresight of the Forefathers who set about to build a government that would work agonizingly slow and deliberately, with a strong bias towards consensus rather than accelerated change.

The explanation that we’ve heard so far is that the Obama Administration did not have realistic numbers from December 2008 and this lead to inaccurate projections.
What I want to know, and have not heard anyone ask, are the following:
* When did the current Administration discover that the December numbers were wrong?
* When the bad numbers were discovered, what was the new projection?
* Why are we just hearing about this now?
* What is the new projection?
