Obama's stimulus was a massive failure and it didn't work

Your challenge:

The CBO report of late 2011 measures the stimulus being a success via number of jobs created and GDP rise.

We're still waiting for you to post one economist saying, after that CBO report, that the CBO data was wrong and the stimulus was not a success - and provide any data to show why. You've posted zero.

Post one.

"Things like that oft-repeated canard, "the stimulus was an epic fail". Nope. 99.9% of economists around the world say, not at all, it worked. Yes, suck on that, Obama-haters. You may not "believe" in stimulus. But the stimulus worked, and that's a measurable and proven economic fact, verified by virtually every single independent economist."

Your words, not one mention of the CBO.
Please share which of the worlds independent economists you are referencing, 999 out of 1000 is a bold claim and should be easy to back up. It is time for you to actually defend one of your statements, or continue to just move the argument away from your actual words to some other made up version inside your head. Either way it is great theater for the rest of us.

You haven't posted one economist that, in 2012, disagrees that the stimulus worked, by arguing against the measurable facts of job creation and GDP growth.

Not one.

Okay - I'll be as shallow and superficial as you:
