Nearly three out of four Americans think that at least half of the money spent in the federal stimulus plan has been wasted, according to a new national poll.
A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Monday morning also indicates that 63 percent of the public thinks that projects in the plan were included for purely political reasons and will have no economic benefit, with 36 percent saying those projects will benefit the economy.
True stimulus comes when people keep more of what they earn. Taking money away from taxpayers to feed it to the endless and inefficient bureaucracy only makes the recession worse.
