We’ve Lost 1 Million More Jobs With The Stimulus Spending Than Obama Said We’d Lose Without It

A visual representation of just how badly Obama’s “stimulus” spending spree has flopped.


Not shown: A representation of just how much money we spent, and how much debt we ran up, while Obama has been on his “create or save jobs” crusade.

    whff. I like how you stopped at february. The S&P finished at 942+ today. Not great but by extending the graph you would see a nice uptick. Ah fair and balanced. That would just take the fun out of this board

    silly dinorob, you guys were running everything on all of those dates…. plus,barry was in DC. he knew exactly what was going on and supported it.

    If it’s good news you say that the stimulus wasn’t a help because it hasn’t been distributed yet.

    If it’s bad news you say the stimulus was a flop.

    Like turning around the financial collapse was going to take what, a few weeks? After all, it only took bush and the republicans 8 fucking years to take us down.

    Once again, you people show what assholes cons are.

    Dino makes a little joke…

    In that way liberalism is a victim of its own success

    And liberal success would be what?

    Oh, wait! Let’s look where the leftists have been in charge for the last 40 years…

    Detroit
    St. Louis
    Los Angeles
    Philadelphia
    Washington, DC
    Atlanta
    Chicago
    New York
    Cleveland
    Miami

    … all crime-ridden, filthy, ignorant drug havens, specializing in joblessness, corrupt goverment, empty store-fronts, poverty, disease, prostitution and illiteracy… which explains why the lets-all-be-equal Obamas have their little darlings at Sidwell Friends – where scum like you would be escorted off campus.

    Why do you people want to pretend that you didn’t dominate the economic policy agenda for the last 30 years?

    Why do you keep pretending that you know anything at all about economics, little dino? Your ravings prove, time and time again, that you are completely ignorant on the subject. Your droolings are simply pure partisan propaganda.

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/america_is_back/#c397018 DINO

    Oh Potato, your blocking software has failed you yet again.

    It’s a shame you can’t refute what I say but can only regurgitate my words.

  • http://www.kenmccracken.blogspot.com/ Ken McCracken

    I wasn’t predicting a rally or quick recovery. It will take years to reverse the damage done by 30 years of bad conservative economic policy if its even possible.

    Convenient! So no matter how much worse Obama makes things, you will always have your ‘it’s Bush’s fault’ thumb-sucking blanket.

    On the other hand, I’m not wishing for more bad news like you walking shitstains.

    Well I know you aren’t talking about me. Greedy capitalist that I am, I am hoping for the Mother of All Recoveries. And I don’t care if Obama gets the credit, deserved or not.

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/america_is_back/#c397018 DINO

    You are one pathetic idiot, Potato. So threatened by me, so frustrated that I haven’t been blocked.

    You seem like a man browbeaten by a high maintenance spouse or perhaps the victim of low self-esteem.

    Wow. 942. Wow. That’s just peachy bueno. We’re really cooking with the gas now. Oh, yeah, I found that graph a while back so I’m not responsible that it doesn’t show data trends since February. But it shows enough that an honest person can see that when it became obvious Obama was going to win (have the election bought for him by George Soros) the economy tanked. We went from slow growth to negative growth. The business community is scared shitless of Obama’s policies. We’ll be in recession until he is out of office.

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/america_is_back/#c397018 DINO

    Why do you people want to pretend that you didn’t dominate the economic policy agenda for the last 30 years? I seem to remember talk of “the death of the democratic party”, “democrats can’t win elections”, “a permanent republican majority”, “the new conservative century”, yada yada. Now you want to claim underdog status?

    HAHAHAHAHA

    28 years of conservative ideological dominance:

    20 of the last 28 years with a republican President 1980-1992, 2000-2008

    Republican majority Congress:

    Republican Senate 1981-1987, 1995-2007

    Republican House 1995-2007

    (total republican control of Congress 1995-2007)

    Seven years with a republican President and Congress 2000-2008

    22 years with conservatives controlling the Fed (Greenspan 87-05, Bernanke since)

    Compared with:

    Democrats with a slim Congressional majority under a republican president 2007-2008

    Democratic majority in Congress with a democratic President for 4 months.

    It’s going to take YEARS to reverse the detrimental effects of conservatism if it’s even possible. You people FAILED miserably. Unless of course you want to claim success?

  • dfwpike

    We’ve lost 1.6 million jobs since the Obama stimulus bill was passed. Hope and change!

    Just how much of an impact Obama’s recovery program had on the pace of job losses is up for debate. Obama has claimed as many as 150,000 jobs saved or created by his stimulus plan so far, even as government reports have shown the economy has lost more than 1.6 million jobs since Congress approved funding for the program in February.

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/america_is_back/#c397018 DINO

    You can deny it all you want but when things looked good the shitstain cons were geabbing the credit.

    Clinton’s surpluses were due to a) the dotcom bubble and b) his tax hikes that passed despite strong republican opposition.

    Unless you want us to believe that the wise repubs who created the surpluses lost their n
    minds from 2001 to 2006 when, with bush at the helm, they doubled the debt adding $5 TRILLION to it.

    Conservatism has dominated for 30 years and essentially still does. The grip is proving very hard to break. The downfall wasn’t severe enough to provoke a strong liberal backlash.
    In that way liberalism is a victim of its own success. Without the safety net put in place by liberals after the republican-caused Depression of the 1930s there would have been much more suffering and the pendelum would have swung with a vengeance.

    There’s a feeling out there that this is a blip and that the roaring times like 2005 will be back.

    How naïve.

    I hope Dino the sociopath is not one of those smart socialist/democrats I am always hearing about. But then again a smart democrat is a lot like Sasquatch. Everyone talks about them but no one has ever seen one. He talks about 30 years of “bad conservative economic policy” when the facts indicate it is the socialist/democratic economic policy that has failed. The Democrats controlled both houses of Congress and held the Presidency at the same time for 32 of the last 75 years and the Republicans have only held both houses and the Presidency 6 of the last 75 years. Yes Dino, the Democrats have been in total control over 5 times as long as the Republicans the last 75 years. California is a good example of socialist/democratic policies. When California went from conservative economic policy to socialist/democratic economic policy it took the equivalent of the express train to hell economically speaking.

    I don’t agree with the silly nonsense that we’ve had 30 years (or is it 28?) of GOP rule, or “bad conservative economic policy.” That’s just adolescent bleating from someone who doesn’t know a debit from a gerbil.

    But if it were true, that would also mean that the same GOP dominance and conservative economic policy must have been responsible for the balanced budget for which Clinton is so often, wrongly, given credit.

    Hmmm?

  • robert108

    So threatened by me…

    Delusions of grandeur from a malignant narcissist!

  • http://www.kenmccracken.blogspot.com/ Ken McCracken

    Conservatism has dominated for 30 years and essentially still does.

    Just when did conservatism’s shrinking of government occur?

    When were government programs slashed?

    When did real tax reform to simplify the tax code happen?

    When was social security reformed?

    The only vaguely conservative reform of any kind that occured during the past 30 years was welfare reform under Clinton, a Democrat, hardly a fire-breathing conservative ideologue.

    Dino, you live in parallel universe of your own invention.

  • http://www.kenmccracken.blogspot.com/ Ken McCracken

    For all you know Dino, that is a dead cat bounce.

  • groetzinger

    Just because you say it that doesn’t make it so.

  • TomTom

    Dino and the LIE MACHINE!

  • robert108

    It would be much more accurate to say that we have been subjected to over 70 years of Dem wasteful social spending and market rigging for social engineering purposes. FDR, LBJ and Carter massively expanded wasteful social spending and market rigging for social engineering purposes.
    FDR’s “Social Security” has been ripping us off since 1938, LBJ’s “War on Poverty” has been impoverishing us since 1965, and Carter’s restrictions on domestic energy development has cost us trillions in lost income and millions of jobs since the late Seventies.

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/america_is_back/#c397018 DINO

    That was a link to US News. All factual. As is the chart.

    Take it up with the history books.

  • Bat One

    Clinton’s surpluses were due to a) the dotcom bubble and b) his tax hikes that passed despite strong republican opposition.

    Swish,

    I don’t think there is any way in hell that you can back this assertion up, and prove it with documented facts and numbers. In fact, I know you can’t.

    But because I’m such a fair-minded guy (with a great sense of humor) I’ll give you the rest of the evening to make some piddly, lame-ass attempt. I’ve got my gym workout and a class and dinner to attend to yet this evening, but when I get back I’ll dispense with whatever silly nonsense you can post about Clinton’s so-called balanced budget. Okay?

  • http://www.dartemis.net/blog/ sayanything-42

    Indeed we have.

    And the losses will continue.

  • brain trust

    It would be worse if it weren’t for all of the government jobs(parasites) that were created.

  • robert108

    Tax hikes created deficits, not surpluses. Clinton “saved money
    by gutting our military and intel budgets, thus enabling 9/11. The cost/benefit didn’t work out on that one.

  • http://suitepotato.blogspot.com/ sayanything-4808

    We already knew this. What we need to know is what did the media know and when did they spike it, because they aren’t reporting this honestly and only the AP is lately being bitchy with the administration.

    They are the key in getting the msm more honest. So much of the rest of the media works off their start, if we get more of this stuff to stay alive in the blog world, the AP is sooner or later going to have their time of the month again and get crotchety and run with one of these truths.

  • http://suitepotato.blogspot.com/ sayanything-4808

    Yes, r108, if there was money in analysis of this creature that calls itself Dino, I could guarantee that there would be a dozen docs waiting to claim it. The studies of extreme delsionality alone are worth doing but not likely to pay anything. He actually imagines that he matters to me beyond wasting a few seconds to taunt his useless excuse for a personality. The fact is, no one knows he exists nor cares nor ever will.

    You have only my pity Dino. For you lack of intelligence, lack of wisdom, lack of intellect, lack of heart, lack of everything. However, fear not. Hannah is displaying a desperate need to have someone pay attention to his insufficient penis so maybe he could pay attention to your insufficient mind in return.

  • http://suitepotato.blogspot.com/ sayanything-4808

    No Dino, the blocking software is not mine nor did it fail. You of course know that because I’ve already stated that the code doesn’t affect the sidebar comment preview line-up.

    Furthermore, you are the only one on this board who truly sanely rationally believes you present any arguments to refute. Since you don’t, there’s nothing to refute. If you want to actually come back to Earth and argue logic some time honestly, I will be glad to clean your clock intellectually as I did many months ago.

    What I stated regarding you is simply true based on your own posts. When you care to take stock of what you actually post, then you might change. Until then, you are a misbegotten wretch whose dull ass will not mend its pace with beating… though I am sure all would enjoy seeing you beaten whatever the result of it on your intellect and manners.

  • http://suitepotato.blogspot.com/ sayanything-4808

    Dino is a troll. Sadistic, cruel, unreasoning and pathetic. Though as Internet trolls go, sadly insufficient. He’d be destroyed in about five minutes on Usenet. So simply know that everything he says is wrong and move on.

    If you tell Dino that the sky is blue, he will tell you it is black due to thirty years yadda yadda yadda.

    Hannah will argue about the definition of the word “color” and claim one that exists nowhere on Earth.

    RBB will blame the lack of clarity of the definition on Bush.

    WOOF will make a cryptic inane statement that the color of the sky isn’t as important as whether the sun is shining.

    Ellinas will claim that it is a further sign of the Republicans destroying California.

    Professional psychologists will wonder if these people have any money and if they can be talked into therapy.
