The CBO also said, "It is impossible to determine how many of the reported jobs would have existed in the absence of the stimulus package."

In other words, a lot of those jobs were jobs that might have been created anyway.

Despite cries from conservatives about the growth of government under the current administration, the public sector has shed more than 600,000 jobs since President Obama took office and has added jobs in just two months since the beginning of 2011.

The ARRA was to create immediate jobs, but did not kick into gear really until 2010.

Sure it created jobs, but at the cost of over 800 billion added to the Debt.

Aww, you're an angry little anarchist aren't you? We need to get back on topic and figure how to deal with you.
And what did all these extreme, hateful, (insert played out slander here) conservatives say or do to you and what came to them?

Most are in jail for corruption such as embezzlement from their church or workplace. Others have lost their businesses for their shady practices.

Like i said people like you will get whats coming to you sooner or later.

The 99er haved wised up and figured out its people like you that are the cause and will not be going away. Instead they are geting stronger. So you can keep dreaming if you think you are going to try and stop or silence these people.

No it was not. It was not a jobs bill. Had it been a jobs bill, it would have been structured differently. It was an economic stimulus. And it did.

The 99%ers are really about 4%. While destructive they are not effective. And really you know that many shady conservative people who have gone down who happened to hold a semi-prominent position in the community? You know them? You watched it all go down? And just what do I have coming to me? I've heard this before. It's where you tell me when I see the real world man I'm going to have another thing coming. I live in a bubble and it's about to burst and other things that will get you kicked off this site if you say them. You may make headlines but you'll never make an impact. Your group is akin to a bad reality show. A barely entertaining, shock value seeking soon to be forgotten train wreck that few will ever take seriously.

Wikipedia and several other sites tend to disagree with that assessment.

To respond to the late-2000s recession, the primary objective for ARRA was to save and create jobs almost immediately. Secondary objectives were to provide temporary relief programs for those most impacted by the recession and invest in infrastructure, education, health, and ‘green’ energy.

An act making supplemental appropriations for job preservation and creation, infrastructure investment, energy efficiency and science, assistance to the unemployed, and State and local fiscal stabilization, for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2009, and for other purposes.

If it was not a jobs bill, why put that as the first thing in the title? Most probably when the bill was in committee, that is the first thing they DID decide, that it would be a jobs bill.

Look at what the Democrats are calling Jobs Bills over the last 2 years anyway. The title of jobs bill is very malliable.
