Remember the CBO warning that Obama's plan was worse than doing nothing? They were right!

Thursday news that employers cut a larger-than-expected 467,000 jobs in June, driving the unemployment rate up to a 26-year high of 9.5 percent. I've updated this chart:

Yeah, but what you aren’t taking into account is how many jobs its saved.

with the Stimulus: Only 450,000 jobs lost, but without it, the number might have been up to a million jobs lost, so Obama saved 550,000 jobs with the stimulus.

If Obama continues to save jobs - there won’t be any left.

Either you forgot a sarcasm tag or your a troll and need to go back to DU. If the stimulus saved or created any jobs they are very few and also very temporary. There are only so many bridges and roads to build or repair. Obama's actions are actually increasing unemployment.

I truly believe they are trying to run the economy into the ground, for the sake of “equality.”

OK they all knew it would be a total failure - so why are “we the people” going to allow the obmanation to do the same thing to health care and immigration? The Congress and the Senate should call for him to submit his birth certificate before any legislation if approved.
