Nearly a trillion dollars has been spent or is in the pipeline through President Barack Obama’s vaunted “stimulus” program. It has not lived up to expectations — certainly not to the grandiose claims Obama and other liberals have made. Yet the White House, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid continue to pump out more “stimulus” funding, in 11-figure increments. Now Obama wants $50 billion more. He began suggesting it in public on Labor Day, saying the nation needs to spend more on infrastructure improvements. Indeed, most states — including Ohio — could use more money to maintain highways and bridges. But we don’t think that is what really is on Obama’s mind. More likely, in our opinion, Obama hopes to time the spending to coincide with his 2012 re-election campaign. By the time legislation he wants could be passed and the money handed out to states, projects probably would be getting under way in early to mid-2012. Congress should say no to Obama.
