After only a month, the country seemed to be in a nose dive

Based on the stock market and economic metrics, the United States seemed to be crashing after only a month of President Obama's term in office. He seemed to be worried, but seemed bent on implementing the leftist agenda that had been discussed over the last eight years.

They looked at the opportunity as license to pay off themselves and their friends. The label "Stimulus Bill" simply was available cover for the real purpose.
