Results matter and the results are a net job loss TODAY of 2.6 million jobs. That is three years after taking office and has led to his current 39% JAR

Well results matter to Conservative if you're talking about Democrats...wait until he gets his wish and Obama's not re-elected. Then they won't.

Texas unemployment rate lower than the national rate and TX has a growing population and labor force unlike nationally where the labor force is declining.

They weren't wrong about the stimulus and they aren't wrong now. Nothing "selective" about them, btw. Even Douglas Holz-Eakin admits that the stimulus created jobs.

DID you even read the article? Closer analysis revealed that CAP took Eakin's logic to formulate THEIR conclusions thus postulating Eakin's theoretical position. NOTHING in this article states that Holtz-Eakin ADMITTED the stimulus worked...or maybe I missed it.

Please point it out.
 
Conservative said:
Those same selective economists were wrong about Stimulus One so why are they right now? Creating temporary jobs with money that we don't have serves no purpose other than to drive up the debt and make you and other Obama supporters feeling better.

Thanks for your opinion, I think like most Americans, I'll go with the majority of the economists that say the Democrats plan will help our economy and the GOP plan will have no discernible result on the economy.

Have those economist explain the Obama results to you since apparently neither of you can

Obama economic results in 2011, .4% GDP and 1.3% GDP growth in 2011, 25+ million unemployed or under employed Americans in 2011, 2.6 million fewer jobs, 4.2 trillion added to the debt in less than 3 years, and a downgrade of the U.S. credit rating. Rising Misery index 7.83 to 12.97. 38-41% JAR and well over 50-55% disapproval ratings.

You are going to have to ask "your" President and Harry Reid why they are holding up the jobs plan. In the meantime results matter and the Obama results are a disaster

Not surprising, you only go to leftwing sites and buy what this Administration tells you. In the meantime you continue to ignore the Obama results

Seeing as how you are pushing the "Obama economic results in 2011", might I ask for a source?

You have Google, use it. House Bill Was given to you earlier and the Senate Bill is sitting in the drawer in Reid's office. House was won by the Republicans in the 2010 election and they just took over in January 2010. Senate has been under Democrat control since 2007
