A new ad by the conservative advocacy group, Americans for Prosperity, attacks the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, claiming that the "$862 billion stimulus paid for pork barrel projects across the country."  The ad further alleges that the spending occurred while millions lost their jobs.  True to form, the ad is replete with misinformation and ignores the millions of jobs that have been created or saved as a result of the stimulus.  The ad further neglects to note the hundreds of billions in tax cuts, especially for middle-class and working-class Americans. 

Of course, the group's failure to report the many successes of the Recovery Act should come as no surprise.  While billing itself as a grass-roots organization working to "engage citizens in the name of limited government and free markets on the local, state and federal levels," Americans for Prosperity is in fact a corporate-funded front-group looking out only for the interests of the very wealthy.
