It's disturbing that there are people here who would attack the administration using this language. The fact is, the economy was hemorrhaging jobs prior to the stimulus. If the stimulus hadn't been put in place, the unemployment figures would easily be double if not triple what they are now, and those numbers would still be increasing. The stimulus package has indeed created jobs and saved us from imminent disaster. This is by no means a jobless recovery. It's a recovery that has created jobs while at the same time turning around many difficult-to-manage economic factors. Nearly every economist agrees on this. It's understandable for those who are still unemployed to be angry. But to rail on the Obama administration for it is simply cutting your nose off. But keep on railing on Obama. He's a miracle worker and should have gotten everyone their job back.
