Obama. Isn't he the guy that said without the stimulus, unemployment would hit 8%? Maybe we coulda saved some money and some jobs WITHOUT the stimulus.

Of course, we could never have known how high unemployment would be without the stimulus. But the stimulus resulted in many jobs being saved in schools and other government departments, more construction and other jobs and more scientists studying diseases. Clearly the early figures were inaccurate. However, without the stimulus plan, we would be in even deeper doo-doo. Btw, the real unemployment and underemployment rate is more like 17 or 18%. The unemployment rate includes only those who are looking for work. In doesn't include those who would like work or work part time and want more work. Jeff

Of course, we could > never have known how high unemployment would be without the stimulus. Obama did. He unequivocally said unemplyment would reach 10% without the stimulus package, and if the package were passed it would hold unemployment to approx. 8%. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgce06Yw2ro

Are you referring to the "450 teaching jobs in North Chicago," that BO said were SAVED by the stimulus bill? The same Chicago school District that has less than 300 TEACHERS, according the Herald News papers? Those teaching jobs, dr_jeff? LOL Reminds one of the 130 jobs that were "SAVED" on a repaving job in Luzern County Pennsylvania. It seems the job was already contracted by Penn DOT and scheduled to be started, as soon as the temperature reach the point at which blacktop could be laid. That Job was listed among the "shovel ready" jobs that were started only because of the federal money. According to a local newspaper, Congressmen Paul Kanjorski (D) notified Governor Rendell (D) that for the additional price of a sign, giving credit to the stimulus bill, the feds would pay 75% of the cost of the job and the sign.
