Pretending the stimulus did not work is just the thing that will work for your party.
Pretending global warming isnt happening is great too.
Pretending every news station but Fox lies works too.
Pretending higher education will ruin this country is just peachy.
Pretending anyone who teaches facts you dont like and dont fit your failed ideas makes you so smart huh?
Calling me names is going to make this election a breaze for your party huh?
Facts mean nothing to this wing of your party and it will kill you in this election.
2014 won't do Obama any good in 2012.
2007 didn't do Bush much good in 2004, but he still won.
Claiming the healthy labor market returned 5 years after the end of the last recession kinda makes any claims about the current health of the labor market look rather...eh...stupid, no?

By the end of 2004, total employed was back up to where it was when Bush was elected.
The stimulus worked? Christ, I'd wager not even the companies making shovels did well in spite of all those "ready" jobs.
Remember that magical 8% unemployment line of bullshit?

Wasn't the stimulus supposed to rebuild our infrastructure? What happened? It's still crumbling.
you dont even know who the cbo is do you?
the cbo is not a who, it's a what.
And some more information for those who are not reality challenged:
the decline in layoffs is not unexpected and does not necessarily reflect labor-market health. Layoffs tend to occur early in a recession. When an economy has reached bottom and has already shed much of its labor, layoffs slow. But that doesn't mean that the labor force is recovering. We could have high unemployment and a stagnant labor force even when layoffs are low. Isn't the fact that hires exceed separations indicative of a healthy labor market? Unfortunately, no.
At any point in the business cycle, even during a recession, american firms still hire a huge number of workers. That's because most of the action in the labor market reflects "churn," the continual process of replacing workers, not net expansion or contraction of employment. The lowest number hired in any month of the current recession was 3.6 million workers. Even during the dismal year of 2009 there were more than 45 million hires.
Bear in mind that the u.s. Labor force has more than 150 million workers or job seekers. In a typical year, about one-third or more of the work force turns over, leaving their old jobs to take new ones. When the labor market creates 200,000 jobs, it is because five million are hired and 4.8 million are separated, not because there were 200,000 hires and no job losses. When we're talking about numbers as large as five million, the net of 200,000 is small and may reflect minor, month-to-month variations in the number of hires or separations.
the third fact puts this in perspective. In a healthy labor market like the one that prevailed in 2006 and early 2007, american firms hire about 5.5 million workers per month. Recall that the current number of hires is four million and it has not moved much from where it was two years ago. The labor market does not feel like it is expanding if hiring is not occurring at a recovery-level pace—and that means at least a half million more hires per month than we are seeing now.
the combination of low hiring and a large stock of unemployed workers, now 13.7 million, means that the competition for jobs is fierce. Because there are now many more unemployed workers, and because hiring is only about 70% of 2006 levels, a worker is about one-third as likely to find a job today as he or she was in 2006. It is no wonder that workers do not feel that the labor market has recovered.

Well, if they said it then it must be true.
So you think two guys are better than the CBO?
The CBO only scores what Congress gives them to score.
That's how OBAMACARE was shown to save money.

The republicans threw a fit and demanded a shit load of the money should be tax cuts instead.
