CBO Finds 3.7 Million Jobs Created by Stimulus

Why do you read everything incorrectly?

I said you & bravo, clearly referring to the post above regarding the "failed" characterization. I added Good Luck, who also said the black hole comment. And, lastly, I included "other posters" (I had SF in mind, among a few others), who have claimed that "no jobs were created."

You just can't read. I can't be too bothered w/ it.

LOL

Oh, not just you. You, bravo, Good Luck (who claimed that all of the stimulus money went into a black hole), and quite a few others on here who said that "no jobs" were created.

if we take out the parenthetical it is clear you're lying or retarded

that comma is unequivocal.....really....you're retarded or a liar...which one?

LOL - whatever. I said I can't be too bothered with it. The paranthetical does create separation, at least conversationally, but if you want to go all grammar police on it and call it retarded, fine.

I had specific posters in mind w/ the "no jobs" thought. You weren't one of them. You're just one of the idiots who keeps saying/implying that it failed.

no it does not in this case, as you only had it for his claim about the black hole....the comma was AFTER the parenthetical, thus, you grouped me with the others. your logic the sentence reads:

yurt, bravo.......separate....GL...thus you said nothing about me idiot

retard....no wonder you think everyone else but you has reading comprehension problems, you don't even know how to properly structure a simple sentence

Well, I didn't want to be too vigorous in the defense, but you're also ignoring the context of how your name is mentioned.

You really don't read things very well.

seriously? so you want me to believe i was separate from the rest of the sentence? then you said nothing about me idiot.

Oh, not just you. You,

that is separating me from the rest of the sentence

:lol:
 
As I stated many times in the past, I agree that things would have been WORSE had we not had the stimulus. I disagree with the assessment that we are better off today than we were prior to the stimulus. I think we are right about where we were. The stimulus prevented it from getting worse. But it didn't make things better. I know you just want to chant 'but it added jobs'. So by all means, continue doing so. Because THAT is what is truly pathetic. Especially when you consider the cost to 'save' those jobs.


That's awesome. Here's a chart. SF thinks we were better off at the end of 2008 than we are now. Why does anyone take him seriously?

Prior to the stimulus, the United States experienced the worst quarter of economic contraction since 1958.

Like I said - pretty clear in the context. You asked "just me?", and I said not just you. You & bravo, Good Luck, and then a group of posters who said that no jobs were created. The latter characterizes that group.

How long do you want to continue w/ the reading comp lesson?

great, so you now admit you lump me with bravo and GL

Oh, not just you. You, bravo, Good Luck, and quite a few others on here who said that "no jobs" were created.

the AND is clear that the three of us are included with "a few other posters"...else, what were you saying about us? the and speaks for itself idiot.

you're pathetic to lie about this, either that or you are truly dumber than i thought

carry on reading comprehension challenged dumbass
 
I'm not lying. I wasn't lumping you in w/ the posters who said it created no jobs - as I said, I had a few in mind.

Your vigorous defense is hilarious, though. Textbook Yurt.
 

And what does that show? That I'm characterizing the other posters who took the position that you, bravs & GL did as having argued that the stimulus created no jobs.

It's pretty simple. Lovin' the stubborn refusal to comprehend, though...
 
I didn't say that - I said other posters said that. I said you said it failed.

And since you understand, let's hear it: how does the CBO track the jobs that were created or retained? Quick now - off the top of your head...

I expect that your inability to answer this one was the cause of the 2 page grammar distraction, btw.

Wanna give it a go?

IMO it is a failed program, it was never the stated goal of the program to keep things the same, in fact it promised a much better result.

He gets upset when I point out that it failed, and thinks that this will prove me wrong. However, we still look at the 9.1% unemployment rate, with an actual rate of around 18%, our money buys less (even fast food) and only the fact that our homes have gone down in value so much keeps us from hearing about the inflation. This was definitely not the goal of this "stimulus". Pretending this was a resounding success is ridiculous.

So, now if he comes in and tries to say, "I don't think it was a resounding success, only that it didn't work well..." he pretty much is saying the same thing I am without simply admitting it failed to do what it was sold to us for...
 
There's the "failed stimulus" for ya.

Cue idiots saying that net jobs didn't increase.

2.8 million jobs(maybe)costing taxpayers 787 BILLION....whats that.?? about 245,000 dollars per job.....what a fuckin' bargain....haha



What a joke.....no wonder its called the jackass party....gullible in the extreme...

...

It promised to create & save jobs, and it did.

I guess you heard the "this will fix the economy and hire back everyone who was laid off" promise somewhere...
 
If Obama spent 787 billion dollars and claimed it created 2 fuckin' jobs you would be kissing his ass and telling us how successful he is......

It just don't work that way pinhead.....two jobs is not something to brag about but I agree, it is creating jobs...
so you got a technical win....goodie for U

Which is it, bravs...2 jobs, or the 2.8 million you mentioned in your previous post?

Big difference there in economic impact. Not sure if you're aware of that.

Either way, you get a technical win......245,000 per job is a ridiculous ripoff for the tax payers....assuming those numbers have a validity at all.....personally, even if true, it was wasted money, a failure,......245,000 per job is just a stupid waste of our taxes......and if the figure is closer to 1.8 million jobs, its even a worse failure....

Either way, you'll still be kissing his ass hoping he'll turn around.

And claiming that jobs were 'saved' is just nonsense.....fanciful imaginary pie in the sky fabrication of something that can't possible be calculated.....

There is no way to know what MIGHT have been in a hypothetical case of no or more or less stimulus....but if it floats your boat, and gives you an orgasm, have a ball.....
 
I find it interesting that people who claim that taxes not paid do not count as costs to the government when, say assessing the costs of the Bush tax cuts, but then include the cost of tax breaks in their calculation of cost per job created.
