Merc, some jobs have been created and have already started. Maybe not a lot yet, but don't act is if none have, because that isn't so. MANY have been saved, and more will start up as time goes on.
classic, the terminology was changed because the job loss grew much faster than anyone predicted, so saving jobs became synonomous with creating jobs.
Redux, there hasn't been much transparency yet, especially with regard to the banks. And speaking of banks, I think this administration isn't putting the regulations we had back in place NOT because of republicans, but because they are too buddy-buddy with banks and Wall Street execs. Just look at the double standard that is being used for those who shower before work, and those who shower after. They should not be afraid of Wall Street execs, they should be afraid of the people. But you know, politicians will always favor where the money flows.
tw, banks AREN"T lending like they should be, or refinancing mortgages, and they are not being transparent AT ALL about the money they've received. I wish Obama would hang a few of those Wall Street execs, like they did Wagoner. Maybe then they would get the message. So far, I don't think they have gotten anything, except their own way.
