Most people, including most of those who identify with the Tea Party movement, as well as several prominent Cellar dwellers, did not know that over 1/3 of the $787 billion Recovery Act was in the form of middle class tax cuts and targeted tax relief....the largest middle class tax cut in years.

Of course not, they just know they're paying more, not considering they're making more. What they are worried about is the massive tax increases that are coming, because Fox and company told them they're coming.

Maybe they can just produce those "Millions of Shovel Ready Jobs". Most people do not believe the Recovery Act worked or is working to put America back to work as your party promised. You will have to come up with something new.

Obama stimulus reduced our pain, experts say
Unemployment would have hit 10.8% — higher than December's 10% rate — without Obama's $787 billion stimulus program, according to the economists' median estimate. The difference would translate into another 1.2 million lost jobs.

The third national survey of economists in recent months in which the consensus is the stimulus has made a difference.

Perhaps you can cite anything that shows it has not had a positive impact.

That comes to $655,833 per job.
