DJD--the stimulus did supply the economy with work

the congressional budget office states that the stim created or saved 1.3-3.6 million jobs

during this year alone the stim created 555,000 jobs according to politifact

before obama took office the economy had lost 3.1 million jobs and lost another 2 million jobs in the 3 months after obama took office before any of his policies were in place

in january 2009 the economy lost 820,000 jobs and by june that number was cut in half and by november 50000 jobs were created

the dow in the beginning of 2009 was at 6000 and at the end of 09 was over 10000

in 2009 first quarter GDP was -6.4% and increased to +5.4% by the end of that year

The stimulus was never ment to magically undo the horrible bush mess it was ment to stop the bleeding before the country went into full depression--and it worked!
