That will come as news to Boeing, United Technologies, 100,000 scientist and researchers involved in basic research, Dell computers, and host of other companies that supply the federal government with expertise, supplies and equipment.
Wow, I thought the stimulus was full of tax cuts, and welfare support for things like food stamps, and here we are, you telling me it went towards 100,000 high paying, high tech jobs. Boy am I glad you were here ovcatto to set us straight on where it went and we dont have to rely upon the Congressional bill for facts
Even the CBO admits the figures are purely hypothetical and made up, using pre-determined standards which would have made it IMPOSSIBLE for a negative number to come as a result. That sounds dishonest to me, and find it even funnier that liberals buy being lied to over and over again.
500K workers doesn't sound like much here in the US, but Cuba only has 12,000,000 residents. That would be like the US losing 12,500,000 additional jobs!
Obama set the measure of success for the stimulus. Success= UE below 8%.
So by his own measurement, it was a miserable failure. UE remains over 9%.
Almost $1 Trillion thrown away on bad decisions.
And he laughs it up over those jobs "not being as shovel ready as we thought." Ha Ha, a real knee slapper. That furstrates me to no end- the casual hilariouness he finds in adding $800+ BILLION to the national debt and our children's future on a huge failure.
Wrong, without passing his stimulus we would be at 8%, the stimulus was supposed to lower UE down to around 6%.

I was off by 0.1%, we grew at an amazing 0bama induced rate of 1.3%
Output increased at a 1.3 percent annual pace in the second quarter as consumer spending barely rose, the Commerce Department said on Friday. In the first three months of the year, the economy advanced just 0.4 percent, a sharp downward revision from the previously reported 1.9 percent gain.
The measures the assembly was discussing in its twice-yearly session include cutting more than one million state jobs in a move to reduce Cuba’s vast bureaucracy and reducing the state’s role in areas such as agriculture, retail and construction.
Small private businesses will be encouraged to step in to fill the space, while state subsidies for goods and service will be phased out.
The BBC’s Michael Voss in Havana says one of the biggest obstacles Mr Castro now faces is resistance from party bureaucrats who face losing their job under the changes.
