    The table below compares the White House's February 2009 projection of the number of jobs that would be created by the 2009 stimulus law (through the end of 2010) with the actual change in state payroll employment through September 2009 (the latest figures available). According to the data, 49 States and the District of Columbia have lost jobs since stimulus was enacted. Only North Dakota has seen net job creation following the February 2009 stimulus. While President Obama claimed the result of his stimulus bill would be the creation of 3.5 million jobs, the Nation has already lost a total of 2.7 million – a difference of 6.2 million jobs. To see how stimulus has failed your state, see the table below.

    Are you really this dumb, or are you just trying to sway the people who are?

    This coming from a guy who posted a story about (the infamous) Oil companies trying to stop a (alleged)"recovery".

    Um, actually the story was about how oil speculators, including a few well known TARP recipients, might be bidding up energy, and could derail the much ballyhooed return of GDP growth in a weak dollar environment.

    It helps to understand what you're criticizing, before attempting a takedown.

    If you think this is working, go ask the people that aren't.

    In other news, after the plane crash 108 of 109 seats were burned to a crisp.

    I didn't say it was. But that doesn't make DarrinS's OP any less pea-brained.

    ^^^That's a a stretch, albeit a rather small one. Anyone who falls for the inane framing of the data might believe the post hoc fallacy.

    Over 6 million shy and in less than 70 working days, I doubt they can add even 200k jobs, so this chart should be considered credible.

    But seriously... they should honestly cut out about 1/3 of what's left, or at least use it in other capacities. I actually agreed with Boehner when he said unspent stimulus money should be used for that social security cost of living increase for seniors which they didn't get because of the economy.

    Also, I'd like to add that they're doing a lot of aesthetic road repairs and such in other parts of the country... while 1604 from Culebra to Bandera is still a ing 4 lane street. Not getting funds for that is complete .

    When I read a SnC post, I actually hear it in my head as the voice of Avery Johnson... or at least Don Harris' impression of AJ. It actually adds to the hilarity of his otherwise dull posts.

    U just posted the wrong stats, in the wrong room Darrin. Really, what can you expect, other than...

    "oh, your so stupid."

    "yeah, he's really stupid!!"

    "lol, you sure got him with that stupid comment."

    "yeah, good one!"

    Nobody's denying the stats tho, are they?

    The table below compares the White House's February 2009 projection of the number of jobs that would be created by the 2009 stimulus law (through the end of 2010) with the actual change in state payroll employment through September 2009
    "but...but, it's way 2 early, Obama has 2 months left on his pledge...and besides, it's all Bush's fault. Darrin is a pea brain for even bringing up these numbers..."

    and SIG

    Without the stimulus, everybody would have lost their job.
