To actually address the OP. The stimulus was not meant to create jobs. It was nothing more than a grab bag for liberal spending.
Oh yes, thank you for that brilliant insight, Ollie.
Except that it did create jobs, to the tune of 1.4-3.3 Million.
Did the Stimulus Create Jobs? | FactCheck.org
Remember that job creation was not the sole purpose of the stimulus, either. Stabilizing an economy in utter free-fall wasn't a bad fringe benefit.
I have this problem believing what people tell me in newspapers and on the web when i see things like what was done here.
$180,000 from the stimulus was spent to open a city swimming pool for 10 weeks. Now how many great jobs did that create? And what the hell did they spend $18,000 a week on?
Then you get into saved jobs? Remember some of the first jobs Obama claimed the stimulus saved? 25 Police cadets who graduated in Columbus Ohio. They started their training 6 months before the asshole was elected. But he saved their jobs? Bull Shit.
And I don't pretend to be some great economist but I do not see a stable economy either.
