"The stimulus money won't do any good," the Republicans told us. Now they not only want it, they're begging for it.
Charles Grassley, a Republican senator from Iowa who voted against the stimulus, and said that it "is not working," and about its positive effect on the economy, said that it had "none whatsoever," seems to have changed his tune:
Grassley announced two grants totaling $399,875 to Goodwill Industries of Central Iowa and Goodwill Industries of the Heartland through the Homeless Veterans Reintegration program. “These funds will give a hand up to our veterans who have fought bravely and selflessly for our country,” Grassley said. The funds were authorized by the Recovery Act.The hypocrisy is mind numbing.
