Why is Obama waiting several years to spend most of the stimulus money?

Go Stillers! asked:


Less than half of the $800 billion in the stimulus bill will be used in the next 2 years. What’s the point of having a stimulus package if we have to wait over 2 years to see the majority of the money used? How does that stimulate the economy? What is Obama doing?!?!

Whatever happened to the fierce urgency of now?

    Simple answer. They’re guaranteeing democrat majorities by having more and more people dependent on big government for their ‘income’. This has nothing to do with boosting our economy!
