Re: U.S. Adds Only 88,000 Jobs; Jobless Rate Falls to 7.6%
No you cannot show that 50% of the economists said it was a success. I Posted the Wall Street article and the actual data from non partisan sites like bea.gov, bls.gov, and the Treasury. Where does your data come from? Only a true ideologue could look at the economic results today and say the stimulus was a success but the results make you look foolish
The Stimulus is what Obama wanted and proposed, but then nothing is ever big enough for someone who wants a massive central govt and dependenct. I suggest you start thinking with your brain instead of only with your heart.
Our economy was coming out of recession and if it cashed at all it was before Obama took office or had any impact on changing things. What he did was change things for the worse as the results today show.
Your opinion noted, you have no idea what would have happened had there been no stimulus but keep spouting the talking points.
Wow, you are just making stuff up. Show me evidence that 50% of economist that thought the stimulus was a bad idea. (You can't)
If anything, the biggest disagreement was that that the stimulus was not big enough, and that was the consensus if Obama's economic team that the $800b was at the very low end of an effective stimulus plan, but that was felt to be the best we could get through Congress.
Accepting the conclusions of 92% of economists is not the point of view of a narrow minded partisan, ignoring the economists because they don't support the opinion you wish to be true is the position of a narrow minded ideologue, ie; a minion.
Our economy crashed, the stimulus was the airbag, the GOP and Blue Dogs prevented us from getting a better airbag, so we were injured in the crash, but without the stimulus and TARP the crash would have been much worse. You can deny this until you are blue in the face, but you can't support your argument with anything but a fringe of economists.
