Maybe you didn't read the thread title. It's about the stimulus.
We were instructed that the tax cuts would stimulate job creation. They continue to want more tax cuts in order to stimulate more job creation. That is all the R's in Congress can say.
Where are the jobs? We need a couple at our house.
If Omaba made soup out of children and Romney used them for target practice the country will still vote for either Romney or Obama. Your fellow citizens are not competent enough to protect you from despotism .Get used to it.
Off topic. If you can't respond to the facts, I don't care what garbage you post.

"We were instructed that the tax cuts would stimulate job creation." In the Kennedy, Reagan AND W Bush's case, it DID AND revenues increased.
By the law within the Stimulus Bill, the Obama Admin is required to file a report EVERY 4 months.
The last report was filled in June 2011.
Another example of "transparency".
Exactly!

The numbers have gotten progressively worse with each passing quarter. By the April 2010 report, according to that same method of estimating the stimulus’s effects, the tally was up to $167,000 spent for each job added or saved. By the July 2010 report, the tally was up to $190,000. By November 2010, it was up to $206,000. By March 2011, it was up to $242,000. By July 2011, it was up to $278,000 (at which point the White House objected to my highlighting its own numbers, and I responded). And by the December 2011 report (which covered the stimulus’s effects through the second quarter of 2011), it was up to $317,000 — $317,000 of taxpayers’ money that was borrowed and spent for each job that was added or saved.
The American people would presumably like to know what the tally is up to by now. Has the “stimulus” now cost taxpayers $350,000 per job? $400,000? $500,000? But, regardless of its legal obligation to do so, the Obama administration isn’t coming clean.
Since the earnings value of a job is about $3mil, maybe a good investment, huh?
