CNBC leading discussion bashing Stimulus
They said that it isn't working, and that the public perceives that it isn't working and are putting the Title "Stimulus: Time to Pull the Plug?" up as the visual.

I just saw something on the recovery.gov side saying that Today is when those entities that have received more than $25K from this plan have to register and start showing how they have spend it. We all know it's been slow to develop, but isn't it a bit early to write it off? Is it really NOT working? Or is it just never to early for the right wing media to bash the policy, which CNBC has been facilitating since even before it's passing votes were cast?

Maybe Obama should go on TV and say the Republicans want to pull the plug and don't support it, so we're doing just that. Kill it and see how the market and those states receiving money respond to the well drying up.

1. They are automatons who track our economy by looking only at the DJI
Stocks are down, Obama's at fault.

Stocks are (waaaay) up, the free market works.

2. It didn´t take them long.
A week´s worth of bad economic news, and already they´re ready to ´pull the plug.´ I hope they mentioned that Japan appears to have ended its recession, largely due to its government´s aggressive stimulus plan.

3. Hah! They did mention the Japanese recovery, but as far as I could see...
...there was no mention of their STIMULUS being involved in the recovery. I saw articles stating their stimulus was part of the reason, as is the recovery in China. Though some say our's is lackluster and actually not enough (Krugman), apparently, like health care, Stimulus works everywhere in the World except here. CNBC friggin' blows.
