Well, I'll point you to the coroner's report concerning Elvis's death, and to the analyses of stimulus package results done by CEA, CBO, the Fed, Moody's, IHS Global Insighjt, Goldman-Sachs, Macroeconomic Advisers, and just about every other reputable analytical shop.

What's in your wallet???

Dems try to avoid overselling jobs bill - TheHill.com-


Americans Who Believe Elvis Is Alive 7%

"The King's" Popularity Constant - CBS News
Funny, you left out THIS part (in RED): "A New York Times/CBS poll found that just 6 percent of Americans believe that it created jobs, even though independent economists estimate that it has saved or created more than 1 million jobs."

Why is that I wonder? Maybe because it doesn't fit your political agenda?

All your poll does is show the ignorance of the American public - mostly because they listen to BS logic such as you made in your post (implying that believing or disbelieving in the stimulus creating jobs somehow equates with whether or not it actually DID create jobs).

What a coincidence. I actually made money over the past 5 years NOT listening to everyone on your "A-list".

That might hold water if it was a small majority, but not 94%.

Again I rest my case about the ignorance of the American people: Believing or disbelieving in the stimulus creating jobs DOES NOT equate with whether or not it actually DID create jobs. The fact that YOU (or anyone else) believe it didn't create any jobs doesn't make it so.

Again, typical bad logic on the part of the Obamabashers.
Nothing new there.

If you ask six economists the same question, you'll get seven answers. It would seem the American public is less than impressed with the "estimates" of "independent economists".
