GOP Hypocrites: Republicans Decry Stimulus While Taking Credit for Improving Economy

In case you haven't noticed, the U.S. economy has done much better during the past several months, a testament to the success of the economic stimulus package put forth during the early weeks of the Obama Administration.

Problems remain, to be sure, but there are numerous indications that the economy has hit bottom and started to come back. Consumer confidence, for one thing, has rebounded and signs look good for a prosperous 2010.

But the Party of No, aka the Republicans, has nothing good to say about much of anything. In particular, they whine about federal spending at every turn (unless of course it's about a GOP president fighting an elective war, in which case then federal spending is just peachy).

The good folks at Think Progress have documented some of the Republican hypocrisy on stimulus spending. Read the story here.
