It's known by Americans across the entire political spectrum how absurdly massive this bill is...and yet Obama's popularity is ranging between 60-70%. How the hell is that happening? Can you imagine if Americans were questioning a bill like this coming from George Bush? How low would his approval be? 5%?
The public's approval does depend on whether you're spending $800 billion on stuff that will actually help some Americans...and create jobs......or whether you're spending it on useless military stuff. In Dubya's case, it'd be the latter....so naturally, his approval rating wouldn't profit from it.
And of course what Spade said.
