Fantasy jobs

Last year, White House econ omists claimed that the $862 billion stimulus would create 3.3 million jobs. Since then, the nation has lost more than 3 million jobs.

That's a 6.3 million jobs gap. By the White House's own standards, the stimulus failed.

So President Obama has shifted his argument. Sure, the economy lost jobs, he concedes -- but without the stimulus, it would've lost nearly 2 million more jobs.

This is nothing but faith-based economics. The White House estimate of "saving" nearly 2 million jobs is based not on observations of the economy's recent performance -- but merely on the administration's unshakable belief that deficit spending must create jobs and growth.

Removing water from one end of a swimming pool and pouring it in the other won't raise the overall water level, no matter how large the bucket.

I’ve never seen a White House that was so out of touch with reality. Even Jimmy Carter’s White House knew what was going on...they simply couldn’t do anything about it. The 0bama White House is living in a parallel universe and the people are starting to realize it. For that reason, I propose that the following should become themesong for the 0bama White House...
