Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said on Wednesday that despite all their public criticism, Republican lawmakers tell him in private that they think the administration's stimulus package has been a success. "I believe the economic recovery plan has worked," LaHood said, in an interview with the Huffington Post, "and I've had Republican members tell me that when I've gone in and done projects or been with them or visited them in their offices... They know that we have dollars that have put people to work."Whatever you want to say about the stimulus it was put in place because we were in economic meltdown. If we had not implemented the Republican party public policy that caused the meltdown we wouldn't have needed to even think about if the stimulus would work, or if it did work, or whatever. All we would have had to worry about was how to spend the surpluses created by the last round of Democratic public policy.
