Four months after the stimulus was passed, unemployment is far higher than expected and continuing to rise. It is even higher than the White House predicted it would have been without the stimulus.

Who would hire a community organizer to even run a 7/11?
Anyways, from seeing that graph we should be back to pre-hussein levels about the same time he is voted out.
Yea, ok.

You're not factoring in other "stimuli" projects Obama will implement before leaving office.

Did you add the March, April & May data points?

[batter]

No. Those data points were put in by innocentbystanders.net. Click the graph to go to their site.

"I’m thinking they hired the climate model people to do the same job on this one."

If one includes data from 4 to 5 previous years in the plot, IT'S A HOCKEY STICK! (the only shape of graph the AGW alarmists can generate using their "science")

Remember in January that this bill HAD to be passed right away? We did not even have time to READ it? No one knew what was in it. We really did not debate if it was a good idea.

So here we are, we spent $1 trillion on a stimuli bill and things are worse that if we had done NOTHING!

Where is the tape where Bam says “doing nothing is not an option ....”

I was angry then, even more angry now.
