On Sunday, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) reiterated his position that disaster relief funds for the tornado victims in Joplin, Missouri must be paid for with cuts to other programs. "Congress will find the money," Cantor said on CBS' “Face the Nation” "And it will be offset."

"I know that America is just stunned by the scope of devastation and loss and the horrific tragedy that the people of Joplin and other places across the country really are experiencing this tornado season," Cantor said. The federal government typically pays for disaster relief, but Cantor has said repeatedly that the government must maintain fiscal discipline. On Sunday, he compared the situation to that of a family putting off buying a new car when a family member became ill.
"When a family is struck with tragedy -- like the family of Joplin ... let's say if they had $10,000 set aside to do something else with, to buy a new car ... and then they were struck with a sick member of the family or something, and needed to take that money to apply it to that, that's what they would do, because families don't have unlimited money. And, really, neither does the federal government."

How can any rational person complain about a path taken to stablize the economy without any level of proof to support the claim that it was not the best choice at the time?

Would the same person be complaining just a loudly now if their current choice had been followed and the result been the same or worse as we have seen?

It is not like we have no access to the historical data. The deeper the recession the longer it takes for recovery, so stopping the fall would seem to be the better choice.

The problem with economics is when too many believe there is a problem there will be a problem even if there was none before. The loss of confidence can cause downturn regardless of any other input.
