Someone help me out here. Didn't O'Dumbass say that this package would create more jobs? Maybe O'Dumbass can explain to the country why unemployment is still going up. Maybe he could just say it was another one of his lies that he has told the American public and the public believed him again. Reminds me of his garbage he was talking on the election trail that was believed by the American public. Umemployment has gone up in a lesser period of time than it did in Bush's last year. Cant wait for 2012 to get here. Be funny if O'Dumbass isnt the Dems choice for President.

If anybody's job was "saved" how do you know it was and who "saved" it?

It is an impossible claim to support. Depending on what side of the table that you are sitting, it is either brilliant or deceitful. I tend to be of the mindset that it is a little of both.

There is no doubt that many jobs have been "saved" by the stimulus. Trying to put a number on that claim is absurd.

Interesting... on this thread you are claiming that there is no doubt "many" jobs have been saved, yet there is no data. Deja vu.

i have made a claim on here but no where else. Many jobs have been "saved" but you cant try to put a number on it. OF course, in bucks county, you wouldnt know anything about that.

It is necessary to note, as much as you don't like it, that the Obama administration is not the first to use the "jobs saved" argument.

That said, it's a bullsh*t argument, and I'm touched to see you actually calling a case of intellectual dishonesty what it is.

I agree to an extent. Saying you saved jobs would be honest. Trying to put a number on how many isn't. One could easily make up a number about jobs COSTED. No?
