CBO: Stimulus bill created up to 2.1 million jobs

[coyotes_geek]

For some reason I can't get a link to the actual report, but if you follow the link below and go to the very bottom of the page you can get the BLS report for government employment. According to said report, there was a decrease of about 100,000 government jobs between Jan-09 and Jan-10.

Not important enough for me to bother. However, I would think that if someone wants to spout how many jobs are created, shouldn't that person care to see just how many of them are government jobs?

What if all of them are?

What if none of them are?

Taste the fail, WC.

If it created 2.1 millions jobs, how many jobs were destroyed by it?

Are you going to answer your own question, or you're just going to leave us hanging in suspense?

He said it was so! Shouldn't that be enough proof for you?

I guess he's not going to dispute the CBO's findings..

I wouldn't dispute the CBO's findings, but they were far from firm on that estimate.

I don't know the exact answer, but assuming the Obama Administration is right with their projections, I'd guess more than 3 millions.

Interesting. I think we'll know once the raw numbers are in.

SO you are sticking with the Feb 2009 projections? And not the latest one's?

I will acknowledge that the CBO projections are just that however in this case the NOvember numbers are more accurate when it comes to the job numbers.. considering it is he 4th qtr jobs that were tabulated..

Stimulus didn't work even by Obama's standards. He said we had to pass stimulus or we would go above 8 percent unemployment. We did and we went above. Stimulus didn't work. Stimulus didn't work....Now on to jobs bill.
