re: #23 andres

I kinda agree. But he could have spin it in the “I work for my constituents” line, which in turns sheds a more favorable light. Or, on the least, doesn’t paint him in a corner between his mouth and facts.

True, but the answer still undermines his opposition to the stimulus. The stimulus was passed to help keep states and business afloat during a recession. Helping constituents, including business owners get stimulus funds acknowledges that money from the government helps businesses “build that”. It doesn’t just go against his opposition to the stimulus it goes against his opposition to government. He should have told those business owners to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and stop asking for government handouts.
