Someone do the math! Can't you? Do the math, that is.

It will paint a very clear picture of this cynical group of people that will totally help you understand their "machinations" over the past two years. Suffice it to say. They are not afraid to be cynical or shy when it comes to lying and being totally hypocritical. If you want to see a Democrats point of view, bend over and insert your head into your ass.

You can argue whether or not it was highly efficient. You can argue whether or not it was executed with any competence. But you can't deny it created jobs - unless you're Sessions and choose to say what you know some people want to hear and not say the truth. Actually, where is the proof that it "created" jobs? All they use is "Jobs Saved", when there's no proof for either!!! It's like testing an experiment with no control! Nearly every serious economist has weighed in that the Stimulus did create jobs.

And yes, the stimulus did create jobs and prevent more jobs from being lost. However, I think we should have put more into the country's infrastructure and into education. It takes longer to get a return but it has the best chance for a greater return to all citizens of our country. 9.6%, "seasonally adjusted".

Job creation? There goes that argument. Government jobs, maybe. LOL. People check all the wrong facts. "Stimulus BAD VERY VERY BAD...ummmmmmcan I have a few million for my friends????" As I agree with the above! Let the Democrats spend it ALL, so we know where to accurately point the fingers!!! "Last Two Years" = "False Hope & Loose Change" 9.6%, again. Job creation? There goes that argument. Government jobs, maybe.
