Here's something from the article as well that I think outweighs the 150,000 jobs saved/created: Quote: *The country has lost 1.3 million jobs since February* Last I checked 1.3 million is a higher number than 150,000. The United States continues to lose 400,000-500,000 jobs per month. This, above all, tells me the economic stimulus plan is not working. This statistic is apparently something Barack Obama is conveniently leaving out as he tours the U.S. spouting off about the success of his economic stimulus plan. President Obama's declaration is, in my book, no different than a farmer shoveling cow****.
