From http://thehill.com/homenews/house/179623-pelosi-drops-the-word-stimulus:

We have tried shrinking the economy and sowing economic uncertainty for 8 months now, and it has failed. It's time for job creation and economic growth as our first order of business to strengthen our middle class.

And… for the preceeding 8 months, we tried spending our way out of economic decline. Stale-mate?

That the democrats are trying to drop the word “Stimulus” from their vocabulary is amusing. As Shakespeare once wrote, “A rose by any other name would prick just the same” (or something like that).
