4. Do you deny that the stimulus bill created jobs and prevented a true depression?

5. I'm not sure how we could know for sure that it did.

People can repeat, over and over again, that a true recession was avoided. But how are we to know? Plus, how can the majority of that stimulus money, given to who it was given to, produce employment?

6. so let's just assume it did nothing, right? right?

Look at the Job loss graph, if you cannot see the direct effect that the stimulus had on it, then you may be blind.

8. It's the unemployment rate only...IF one is stupid.

The Republicans are holding the economy hostage,
and they want your vote or they want you not to vote in 2012 as their ransom.
Those stupid enough to go with that aren't thinking....
they're the type that let others do their thinking for them.

Encouraging that here is sad.
