I suppose you have a reference point for that. And other than some outdated journals and my recollection of Pelagius who actually works presently in the field. I remember his citing a study showing an 80 percent disparity.

Particularly now that Republicans are screaming that the stimulus wasn't efficient enough.

An appeal to the mythical majority.

It certainly doesn't win the game.

I would be thrilled to see the economy recover in full. I benefit in every way possible by a thriving economy. Unfortunately I think Obama has demonstrated how economically ham-handed he is, and he's only making things worse, particularly in the long run.

I wonder if the angry Lefties would consider this "lying":

Here's a stimulus success story: In Arizona's 15th congressional district, 30 jobs have been saved or created with just $761,420 in federal stimulus spending. At least that's what the Web site set up by the Obama administration to track the $787 billion stimulus says.

There's one problem, though: There is no 15th congressional district in Arizona; the state has only eight districts.

And ABC News has found many more entries for projects like this in places that are incorrectly identified.

Via Drudge.

That's hilarious.

As a product of the corrupt Chicago organization, it does not surprise me that Obamacans lie like a drunken sailor spends money, but some of it is downright entertaining.

If it is something more than just a typo, it is shameful. Time will tell.

Sure are a whole lot of "typos" in that report. Maybe the admin should hire a few of the AP's eleven Palin-dedicated fact checkers to help them out.

You've got more humor than I imagined.

Going with the flow of economic thinking doesn't always work, does it?
