Why are politicians flying all around the world in government jets and praising themselves in front of the voters trying to convince them that the stimulus programs are working?

Because if Barack Obama quoted some real figures from his own CEE report,that would mean the end of his campaign for re-election in one fell swoop.The Weekly Standard quoted a CEE report that the President's stimulus program cost the taxpayers $278,000 for every job it created.The program has done little to stimulate the economy, but done a lot to stimulate debt.Over-borrowing and unwise spending on non-designated sources has greatly undermined the economy.In my opinion, it's been a failed attempt to stimulate infrastructure and industry,
