Hypocrisy, thy name is McConnellGrahamKylSessions
The Republicans who now call the $800 billion recovery package “too big” jumped on the Bush bandwagon claiming his $1.35 trillion in tax cuts were just what was needed to jump start a sluggish economy. <...>

If you compare the condition of the economy in 2001 to the current state of the economy, the numbers show that those who now call the recovery package too big, were willing to spend far more when the economic situation wasn’t nearly as precarious:

2001:2009
Cost of package: $1.35 trillion: $900 billion
Unemployment: 4%: 7.6%
Percent of Population Living In Poverty: 12.7%: 17%
Foreclosure Rates: .48%: 1.19%
Americans Relying On Food Stamps: 17 million: Over 30 million
