The republican tea party nutjob doesn't care about safe roads and bridges, supporting crime prevention and hiring of law enforcement officers, educational technology, school construction and special education, jobs and small business, energy efficient homes,  water treatment plant upgrades or any of the other things the act did.     Thats what you would think to hear them talk.    The truth is they are speaking from ignorance.    They just know what the right wing ideologs tell them.     They have no idea what the recovery act did and the real truth is they would support it if they did.     The republicans like to keep their voters riled up and dumb and in that respect they are second to none.
