Recovery Act success stimulates the push for job creation
by: John Wojcik
February 18 2010
Reports released this week show that Republican claims that the stimulus was a failure are dead wrong and the labor movement is losing no time by demanding even more government spending on jobs to break the neck of the Great Recession.
"The fact is that the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is still working," the AFL-CIO said in a statement late yesterday, "generating more than 2 million jobs and laying the foundation for future economic growth." The federation said the positive results indicate that the government must continue spending heavily to create millions of additional jobs.
In a report also issued yesterday, Ross Eisenberry, vice president of the Economic Policy Institute, tracked monthly job losses before and after the Recovery Act.
"With unemployment at 9.7 percent today, its hard to appreciate how much more damage the stimulus investments prevented," he said, adding, "Without the more than 2 million jobs generated by the Recovery Act, the unemployment rate would now exceed 11 percent."
Another indication that the recovery package is working, some economists say, is that the economy grew 5.7 percent last quarter the largest gain in six years. These economists are saying the growth is largely due to the Recovery Act and that those who say President Obamas stimulus plan didnt work are just plain wrong.
"The fact is that the Recovery Act did work," declared EPI President Lawrence Mishel, "precisely as it was designed to work and it has helped to produce roughly 2 million jobs that wouldnt exist if it hadnt become law."
One union leader said the Recovery Act impacted on much more than just the critical area of job creation, as essential as that is to an economic recovery. AFT President Randi Weingarten called the stimulus a "life preserver."
"Kids dont get a second chance to get a good education. The Recovery Act was the help they needed, ensuring that schools continued to receive resources so that teachers could teach and students could learn."

What did Papa Obama say unemployment would only go up to?
Do they count the jobs in phantom districts ?
Funny, Papa Obama said the Pork Bill was going to put it around 8 percent
Now if someone would just tell the American People the Pork Bill was a success-
Oh wait.... that's right- according to the Left, the American People are just too stupid to understand
-That is a lot of people-
52% Say Obama Doesn't Deserve Second Term
A new CNN poll contains some troubling numbers for President Obama. Among Americans -- and those registered to vote -- 52% believe Obama does not deserve a second term, while 44% think he does. A paltry 4% don't have an opinion on the matter.
