US economic recovery 2nd only to Germany

See this article. How did we do it? Obama's stimulus package. Extensions of unemployment insurance. The payroll tax cut. The auto industry bailout. Social safety net programs. All the things that regressives fought tooth and nail trying to obstruct over and over, and are still trying. And as usual they were wrong. That these measures succeeded as well as they did given the obstruction is testament to their effectiveness. Just imagine if the regressives really did give a shit about the American people or the economy where we'd be today. Yes, just a fantasy, I know.
