Stimulating Hypocracy: 111 Lawmakers Block Recovery While Taking Credit For its Success

With the President having just concluded his remarks on the Recovery Act, I wanted to make sure you had our updated list of lawmakers who voted against the Recovery Act and then sought and/or took credit for its benefits.

The list (which is constantly being updated but will stay at the same URL so bookmark it for easy reference) includes:

Over half of all Republicans in Congress: The list includes 110 GOP lawmakers, with 219 total Republicans in Congress.

Over half of all House GOPers: The list includes 90 House Republicans, with House GOP caucus numbering 178 members, according to the Clerk.

Nearly half of all Senate GOPers: The list includes 20 GOP senators, nearly half of their caucus of 41.
