I guess if one is a well-paid member of Congress with full benefits and a good retirement package — and a staff that caters to your every whim, it’s hard to grasp that people back home are suffering. But, the Republicans are very proud of voting against the economic recovery package. They’ve made Rush Limbaugh happy. And, the DC media elite think this was a victory.

So, the question that should be asked of every member who voted against the package is: Why did you vote against more jobs for your state? Why?

The Obama administration prepared a breakdown of the impacts by state at Recovery.gov. I posted the breakdown below (click on each photo for larger image.) It’s kind of hard to argue against job creation these days — unless one is a Rush Limbaugh Republican.
