DISASTER! Jobs Fall 6 MILLION short of Obama's stimulus promise! 49 states have lost jobs.

And it's only October. What will the numbers look like by the end of December? Ugh. What a boondoggle. From House Ways and Means ranking Republican member David Camp, there is this table of what was promised, and the reality by state (HT: drudge):

Every state was supposed to be a gainer of jobs. With only 2 months to go to years end, 49 states have so far lost jobs. Lots of them. How is this not declared an outright disaster by the MSM? Here is what has been happening with jobs this year:

January US jobs lost: 598,000 jobs
February US jobs lost: 706,000 jobs
March US jobs lost: 742,000 jobs
April US jobs lost: 545,000 jobs
May US jobs lost: 345,000 jobs
June US jobs lost: 467,000 jobs
July US jobs lost: 247,000 jobs
August US jobs lost: 216,000 jobs
September US jobs lost: 263,000 jobs

Total US jobs lost under Obama: 4,129,000 jobs

But don't worry because the stimulus saved 30,000 jobs. See - instead of 4,129,000 lost jobs, if we hadn't throw that $1,000,000,000,000 into the toilet, we would have lost 4,159,000 jobs instead. Doesn't that make you feel better now? Remember that the stimulus package was supposed to stop the unemployment rate at 8%! A crisis could become a calamity? Remember that? Here's how that looks (via Moe Lane):Note that the blue lines are the numbers that Obama's team came up with. So the actual unemployment rate is not only worse that what would happen with porkulus, but even worse than was predicted without it. There is only 1 logical conclusion: the stimulus package is a disaster.

  1. Bizzaro world strikes again! Up is down, right is left, good is bad! Vote for Democrats and they will do the exact opposite of everything that you hope they will do! Watch Democrats work their butts off and try everything they know- but the results tell the story. When you are wrong and don't understand how the way the world works, the results show.

  2. I would think after so many failures that the jig would be up. Alas, not so!
