In latest quarterly survey by the National Association for Business Economics, the index that measures employment showed job growth for the first time in two years -- but a majority of respondents felt the fiscal stimulus had no impact.

Yes, in the same way that cutting off your legs "works" for weight loss.
The “Stimulus” bill was meant to destroy the economy, not help it.
Obama is all about crushing the hated middle class, capitalism, and free enterprise.
Because I could have pulled numbers out of my rectal orifice and gotten more accurate predictions than professional, overpaid economists.
Why does this profession still exist?
Yep, anytime an entity spews 787 billion (the equivalent to WalMart's yearly revenues times TWO) all over a country, some money is bound to find its way into the right hands.
Problem is, there's nothing really lasting being done with it.
I was yakking with a guy on FR about this the other day. Comparing BO's stimulus to FDR. While I like neither of them, at least when FDR was finished, there was something to show for it - dams, bridges, the rural electrification project.
In 10 years, the legacy of BO's stimulus will be a bunch of 10 year old cars, and refrigerators that need replacing.
File under, “Duh”.
That's RACIST!
Noshitcaptainsobvious?
Yep: everyone knows it's a democrat campaign slush fund.
The stimulus stimulated Obama’s fat cat buddies duh!
I know of someone who works at a mortgage company of 300 people. 100 were laid off because the companies GREEN initiative goals were not met. BS off... this means this company is not in bed with Obama and he will take down all companies but a few LARGE ones.
The job losses will be massive but Obama does not care.
Called it!
Why do the ones who make the inaccurate predictions get paid, when my accurate predictions earn me nothing?
(That was rhetorical)
Cash for clunkers did sell a lot of cars.
It's not far enough along in the buying cycle to have the true results of the house credit, but cash for clunkers didn't sell any more cars, it sold them sooner.
Eventually every dollar the government spends has to be backed by taking a dollar from someone who earned it through honest productivity. If the government spends $10 to finance $1 dollar’s worth of new productivity it is still a $9 dollar loss from the overall wealth of the nation. The real wealth is productivity not cash.
It helped a few and shafted the rest of us.
Jeez, 800 Billion divided by 250 Million adults in the USA.....
$3,200 per person.
That woulda help pay some of my bills.
Now i got to use it to pay somebody elses bills.
nice.
What do you mean? It kept state governments from having to lay off people that they didn’t need!
The list, ping
What a frigging joke these people are.
Well maybe they are not the joke, the joke is the millions of clueless sheep who don't follow and don't care about this destruction, The so-called “enablers” of this national catastrophe.
“Remember when if we don’t pass it yesterday the world will be DOOOOOMED!”
They keep saying that, but most of the population still believes them.
