Some questions for two Democrats

Dear Sen. Durbin and Congresswoman Bean:

Did you know you $800-plus billions "stimulus" turned into a welfare program for bankrupt states and public unions?

Did you know that the $700-plus billion TARP program was a giant "pork package" for you and your supporters?

Did you know your health care and financial packages are wrecking the economy?

Did you know the administration's claim of 2.5 million jobs saved or created is bullpucky? Or that Christina Romer, who made the claims, is retreating to the safety of socialistic academia?

Did you know that we've lost 4.1 million jobs since this president took office and $7.7 million since the recession began? And did you know that this is all President Bush's fault even though your party controlled Congress from 2007 on?

Did you know the Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 were responsible for the economy's recovery from the 1999-2000 stock market crash, the Y2K mess and the 2001 recession?

Did you know that all of the progressive stuff you two support is doomed to total failure?

Thanks for nothing!
