Yet again the experts say the stimulus worked

got no facts huh?

Fact: People on this board tend to think of your credibility in terms of angstroms.

Fact: You started the thread.

Conclusion: The thread is bogus.

Sorry...but when you spend all 50 gazillion posts showing people what an asswipe you are, it tends to get in the way of anything you might say.

Advice to you: Go to Cuba with Franco...they'd love you down there....and we would love to be rid of you.
 
Economist's View: "Gauging the Benefits, Costs, and Sustainability of U.S. Stimulus"


Did the stimulus work? According to a collaboration between Fitch Ratings and Oxford economics, the answer is yes:

Government stimulus moves may have ended recession, by Jim Puzzanghera, Los Angeles Times: Without the unprecedented stimulus actions by the federal government triggered by the 2008 financial crisis, the Great Recession might still be going on, according to a study by Fitch Ratings. ...

The boost from those policies helped the nation's gross domestic product increase 3% in 2010 and 1.7% last year; absent the stimulus, the U.S. "might still be mired in a recession," according to the study, done in conjunction with Oxford Economics.

The U.S. economy would have seen little or no growth the last two years without the policies, the report says, and those actions appear "to have significantly softened the severity of the decline" in GDP in the year immediately after the recession ended in mid-2009.

Though the Fed's monetary policy actions were helpful, fiscal stimulus by Congress and the White House "had the strongest positive impact on consumption during the recent recovery," the study found.

it worked
 
the study is not bogus you disgruntled brained idiot

Oh, it's bogus alright...they all are. They chose the standards by which they get to make their claims and then forget to qualify their claims. Most studies do.

But, even if it was a great study and solid......you posted it.

So it is tainted by association......but you keep posting.

Obama admitted those "shovel ready jobs" were not so shovel ready.
Besides filling the pockets of the unions and other supporters he needed to pay off, the stimulus did NOTHING.
 
idioits hating on economists and science to retain historically failed ideas
 
Krugman admitted the Stimulus failed

When Wrong Way, Wrong in the Trillions Columns column Krugman finally admits it you know the party ended weeks ago

are they referring to the $300 billion in tax cuts that were a huge part of the Stimulus?? If so then lets elect Romney and go for more tax cuts.

Tell me something, if all the experts said that the sun was shining, and you went outside in the rain and got wet, would you insist someone who tried to give you a towel was part of a plot?
