I take it that you won't give up your pathetic deflection attempts. Sorry but they fail badly. Here's the study which is linked in the article posted in the OP.
What else have you got? That's rhetorical BTW.....
NOW you're talking. I will be sure to read that, and get back with you soon. But looking at the title (Estimated Impact from Jan 2012 to Mar 2012), it sounds amazing to me that we would be talking about 4.1 million jobs in just three months. That makes it even more interesting. Good thing, there are only 9 pages to go thru. Did you? Or, did you take the story-writer's words for it?

Where did anyone outside of you mention 4.1 million jobs?
Aah, actually that made it a quicker read than I thought initially. So, how did your story-writer come up with 4.1 million jobs lost out of that quarterly report? If anything, this is what the report says (employment related highlighted):
CBO estimates that ARRA’s policies had the following effects in the first quarter of calendar year 2012 compared with what would have occurred otherwise:
1- They raised real (inflation-adjusted) gross domestic product (GDP) by between 0.1 percent and 1.0 percent
2- They lowered the unemployment rate by between 0.1 percentage points and 0.8 percentage points
3- They increased the number of people employed by between 0.2 million and 1.5 million
4- They increased the number of full-time-equivalent jobs by 0.3 million to 1.9 million. (Increases in FTE jobs include shifts from part-time to full-time work or overtime and are thus generally larger than increases in the number of employed workers.)

without the stimulus, there would be anywhere from 200,000 to 1.5 million fewer people employed right now? That means the current cost-per-job created is somewhere between $4.1 million and $540,000.
Please feel free to quit while you're behind. Or feel free to keep posting. I enjoy the comedy of the pathetic attempts by the Obama supporters.

I misread. You used Limbaugh math instead.
You do understand what a dollar sign looks like- correct??
