Added jobs? 64000 government workers on permanent taxpayer payroll. Big friggin misuse of money we had to borrow. Maybe you think thats a good thing but it pisses me off.
Saved and added is the same thing if you can stop a job that's being cut from being cut.

Ultimately it's about the net.

And like I said, it's not just about government jobs...the private sector is starting to move, including manufacturing employment.

Again, I don't think 2010 is going to be easy, but we're definitely off the bottom.
