Midnight Blue Says

Where are the Jobs?

A critic of the newly minted Senator Scott Brown sneered at a  remark made after his swearing in ceremony regarding the state of the Stimulus – “The economic stimulus bill has not created one single job.”

It seems the Foundry has data that backs Senator Brown’s astute statement. Facts are stubborn things, ya know:

The figure above shows the projections the administration made in January with and without the stimulus bill, and the actual unemployment rate since then. Unemployment has risen not only above what the President’s advisors predicted would happen if the stimulus passed, but above what they estimated would occur without the stimulus. By the President’s own measure, the stimulus has failed. The promised benefits from the $800 billion in additional federal spending and debt remain invisible.

Keep burying your head in the sand, Libs, it makes the election of Scott Brown all the sweeter.
