The Obama administration recently claimed that the $787 billion stimulus has "saved or created" 1 million jobs, and has never missed an opportunity to talk about how the stimulus is working.The truth, however, is that since February when Obama signed the stimulus, more than 3.2 million Americans have lost their jobs, and the unemployment rate is now 10.2%, the highest in decades. This comes directly from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the government agency tasked with measuring the official unemployment situation in America.
But the real number of unemployed Americans is actually much higher, and here's why:
The Obama administration claims that the stimulus has "saved or created" jobs, yet there is absolutely no way to measure a "saved" job. Thus, their calculation of job creation under the stimulus has no basis in economics and is simply made up.
So if measuring job creation under the stimulus does not require economic analysis, then an alternate (and more accurate) measurement would be the number of "lost and dislocated" jobs since passing the stimulus.
This is calculated by starting with the number of jobs lost since the stimulus passed, which is 3.2 million according to BLS. To this we add the number of workers in the private sector that have been dislocated as a result of the stimulus, and the administration's "1 million jobs" claim is the number to use. Workers hired by the stimulus will have to be reabsorbed by the market eventually, as the stimulus money that these "saved and created" jobs rely upon will eventually run out.
This means that more than 4 million jobs have been lost since President Obama signed the stimulus.
For a more detailed analysis of "lost and dislocated" jobs under the stimulus, including repeated broken promises and distortions on the part of the Obama administration, you can download our newly-released Stimulus Report, or just read it below:
Stimulus Report: 4 Million Jobs "Lost and Dislocated"
American Solutions, are you telling me that Liberals are fudging the numbers? I'm supposed to believe that? Seriously, if I believed that, then I'd also have to believe that the whole financial crisis itself was actually manufactured. It'd be kind of like that fake fuel crisis we had at the end of 2008.
Well the fact is, is that the Liberals aren't "just fudging the numbers," They an OUTRIGHT LYING about the entire ball of wax.
What ball of wax is that, you ask?
The American ball of wax, I say. And they've been doing so since 1913 when we gave them a LICENSE to lie by allowing the Constitution to be amended so that the Income Tax could be instituted.
How else can they take money away from you and give it to someone else in exchange for their vote?
Call it fudging the truth, or call it lying, but we were told in 1913 that the tax rate would only be something like 3% for those making over $200,000.00 (1913 dollars, which equates to millions now)
Also, we were told during WWII that automatic payroll deductions would END when the war was over. They LIED to get us to agree to payroll deductions and even implied that it'd help end the war more quickly.
Liberals said all this. Now this business about saving jobs...heh, they know they can get away with it. They're more concerned about lying in order to shove Health Care down our throats.
Wake UP America!!! Liberals Lie, plain and simple, always and forever.
And the title of this article?
"The Real Story Behind the Stimulus"
pff!!!
Gimmee a break! There IS no stimulus, STUPID!!!!!
And the report provided herein is inaccurate by its very name. It should be called:
"NON-Stimulus Report: 4 Million Jobs "Lost and Dislocated.""
The info in the report might be dead-on, but get the name right, at least. It's "NON-Stimulus."
Any report on legitimate "Stimulus" would have to include information on how we revoked the Liberals license to lie, because until we actually do that, our economy is going to continue to suffer, and Liberals will continue to use those oh-so-convenient crisis to scare people into voting for them.
So what is this License to lie that we have given to Liberals?
Its called the Income Tax Code. With the Income Tax Code, Liberals take your money under force of law, PROMISING to solve this or that crisis with the money. Does the word "Stimulus Bill" ring a bell for anybody????
Hmmmmm???
Meanwhile, instead of spending the money as promised, they spend the money on political favors, such as enticing AARP executives to endorse the Healthcare initiative, funding thug groups like A.C.O.R.N., and supporting organizations like Factcheck.org that help perpetuate the lies and legitimize the FUDGE!! (Founded by Barak Obama, btw, folks. ahem, with YOUR money.)
The Income Tax code allows them to do this, and remain UNACCOUNTABLE.
So how do we revoke this license to lie?
Well, we can enact the Fair Tax. The Fair Tax act abolishes the Income Tax, and replaces it with an HONEST method of taxation, that will ultimately hold Politians accountable for their promises. They can still lie under the Fair Tax, but they will not be able to hide like they can now.
And did I mention that the Fair Tax is the ultimate and real deal stimulus for our economy?
Well, it is, but you'll have to go check it out for yourself at Fairtax.org
