Fed reduced it's forcast of unemployment to 8.6% -8.9% by years end.
Two months ago they had forcast 8.4%- 8.7%.
Obama joked last week that there wasn't as many "shovel ready jobs"
ready as he thought. Ha ha. Immelt laughed too.
I'd like to see how funnie it would have been if he was speaking in front
of a union hall audience.
Real jokester.  |

Funny thing with the gov, they come out with a number weekly for first time unemployment, usually stating this number has dropped from the previous week. Then an hour or two later they backtrack because they find out it is up or the same as the previous week.. |

The federal government.Its public knowledge and is a fact.
Obama's also accummulated more debt than all previous presidents before him combined.This also comes from the feds and is a fact.Literally trillions that there is no way to pay back.
I honor no party whatsover but you guys here who worship Obama need to let it go and admit it was mistake to have even voted for him.There's no shame in admitting you were wrong.
Obama's making that dope before him actually look smart.....nuke-u-ler might actually become a word!

Spence, the actual number is 1.16 Trillion and coming from Rep. Garret as Vice Chairman of the House Budget Comm.
and a member of the House Financial Services Comm. that # would be pretty accurate. |

Real Cost of Stimulus Plan? Almost $1.2 Trillion
Report January 29, 2009 –
Taxpayers will pay much more for the fiscal stimulus than previously revealed – over $1.17 trillion according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).
Most sources have assessed the cost of the stimulus package at approximately $825 billion. But the CBO reports those estimates do not include the cost of the money that must be borrowed to pay for the plan. [Editor's Note: To view the CBO letter reporting on the total cost of the stimulus plan, go here now.]
Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., asked the CBO - the research arm of Congress - to calculate the “money cost” of borrowing the funds needed to fulfill the stimulus projects being sought by congressional Democrats and President Obama. Like every other borrower, the government must pay back borrowed principal plus the interest on its debt.
The CBO responded with a Jan. 27 letter from CBO Director Douglas W. Elmendorf estimating the cost of borrowing the money would be $347.1 billion – or about 42 percent of the cost of the projects. That would push the total cost of the stimulus package to over $1.17 trillion.

It's certainly not true, unless you give Obama credit for all the debt that Bush and Reagan racked up also.
Actually, if you look back a century you'll find that Ike was probably the only Republican that has stats to back the rhetoric.
