Childers Continues Praise For Stimulus

Travis Childers voted for the stimulus- and he’s proud of it.

From One News Now:

Representative Travis Childers (D-Mississippi) says he does not regret voting for the bill in February. “I think that the stimulus is helping; I think it is working,” he shares. “I don’t know how to grade it on a scale, but I can tell you Mississippi would have certainly been in a terrible condition without the monies from it.”

Childers contends the stimulus has provided necessary education and Medicaid funding, and helped Mississippi retain school teachers and key state personnel.

“Let me say this — the Recovery Act wasn’t intended to be a save-all, cure-all legislation,” says the Blue Dog Democrat. “It was intended to get this economy jumpstarted, and that’s what I think it’s doing. And I think we will continue to see positive results from it.”
