Economists agree:
"Stimulus created nearly 3 million jobs"
If John McCain would have been elected instead of Barack Obama we would now be experiencing the George W. Bush Great Depression instead of his paralyzing recession. Not to mention we probably would have invaded Iran, still be ignoring al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and still have a 150,000 troops ignorantly stationed in Iraq.
The stimulus stopped the 726,000 jobs lost per month that Bush was averaging when he crawled out and created three million jobs. We can thank Obama and Democrats for that. McGrampy sure didn't have it in him.
"Neither economist is regarded as a partisan firebrand. Zandi, for example, backed John McCain in the 2008 presidential campaign and has advised members of both parties.Give your thanks...
Their conclusion: The fiscal stimulus created 2.7 million jobs and added $460 billion to gross domestic product. Unemployment would be 11% today if the stimulus hadn't been passed and 16.5% if neither the fiscal stimulus nor the banks' rescue had been enacted..."
