Typical piece by the state run media. The author makes no attempt to say where the jobs were created. Fact is 0 jobs created in the private sector. Money went to bankrupt RAT cities and states to will preserve civil service/union jobs.

Yep. 2.5 million government jobs created and 2.5 million new SEIU members.

It only saved simple servant jobs of people that should have been fired!!!

The so-called “stimulus” money went to politically correct
government projects and to pay off democrat constituencies.

No doubt the Boston Globe believes Elvis is still alive.....like the other 7% who believe such...you know, over the 6% of the people who think the Stimulus worked.

All of the major economic research firms

Are these the same economic firms that have guided the Boston Globe's business plan?

There have been at least 4 jobs created because of the “stimulus”: 1 in New Jersey, 1 in Virginia, 1 in Massachusetts, and 1 in NY’s assembly.

If you don’t get that statement, you’re not paying attention!

Still, though, it’s ridiculous to deny, as many have, that adding 2.5 million jobs was a poor use of government funds.

I estimate* the tight credit caused by all the gov't borrowing behind those 2.5 million jobs cost eleventy million private sector jobs.

*Estimate pulled from thin air, same source as the Boston Globe editorial writer's estimate.
