Because that's all you do.

[Happy Monkey]

You're giving him too much credit. He doesn't even do that.

"So far, the Recovery Act is responsible for the jobs of about 2 million Americans who would otherwise be unemployed." — President Obama
* Context: Both government and private economists have made wide-ranging estimates for jobs created and saved by the stimulus. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO), for example, has estimated that the stimulus was responsible for between 800,000 and 2.4 million jobs in 2009. The White House Council of Economic Advisers pegs the range at between 1.5 million and 2 million.

[TheMercenary]

No holes in that one.

[Happy Monkey]

Good. Because it supports the numbers I posted, which are right in the middle of the CBO estimate, and on the low side of the WHCEA, which itself is well within the CBO.

Or were you under the impression that classicman's post was a refutation of mine in some way?

Dude, you can't take a range like that and really place any sort of validity on it. None.

[Happy Monkey]

What is invalid about the range? It's not precise, but do you have anything (anything at all) that disputes its accuracy (the words have different meanings)?

The CBO is a good sanity check. Any numbers outside that range can be discounted, and numbers inside that range can be inspected.

[TheMercenary]

Keep in mind the CBO only deals with the numbers given to them. BS in BS out. They are certainly no crystal ball on what will really happen. The numbers have been invalidated by numerous organizations who are not associated with the government. Even if you took the low end of most estimates at 600k that is pissing in the wind compared to the number of jobs lost and the actual money expended and allocated per job created. Certainly you are not going to believe the numbers released by the White House.

You just simply cant accept any study that disputes your position....just admit it!

You are wrong about the recovery act not creating a significant number of jobs and stimuilating the economy and you are wrong about the recovery act being responsible for the growing budget deficit

[TheMercenary]

It is not that, but I understand how the CBO works and how much propaganda this Administration has put out to try to cook the numbers and validate the boonedoggle of false Stimulus package.

You do? Is that from personal experience?

Like you understand how the federal budget works and what was included in the health reform legislation?

And yet you continue to misinform others, by wilfull choice or simple ignorance...and are completed blocked from any facts, opinions or findings that contradict your "understanding".
