This just in — the Washington Post (uncritically) reports the White House pixie dust is still working:
The massive economic stimulus package President Obama pushed through Congress last year is coming in on time and under budget – and with strikingly few claims of fraud or abuse – according to a White House report to be released Friday.
Coming barely a month before November’s midterm elections, which will determine whether Democrats retain control of Congress, the report challenges public perceptions of the stimulus aid as slow-moving and wasteful – an image that has fueled voter anger with the dominant party. Even some former skeptics who predicted that the money would lead to rampant abuse now acknowledge that the program could serve as a model for improving efficiency in government.
This follows the news that there have been no hurricanes to hit the U.S. mainland since President Obama took office and the Gulf oil leak was no big deal.
We were told this would happen, remember?
