After 7 Months of Stimulus, 49/50 States have Fewer Jobs

It has now been 7 months since the porkulus bill was enacted. It was promised to revive the economy and put Americans back to work. So far, the stock market has been up and down still in bad way, we've quadrupled the national debt, and um no jobs. The president claimed that this would create 3.5 million jobs. Since this bill was passed we've lost 2.7 million.

Forty nine out of fifty states have less jobs than before the stimulus. 2.7 million jobs lost. Oh but look on the bright side we lost nearly everything we were suppose to gain and racked up the debt, but hey we created a whopping 33,000 jobs. Oh and those only cost us $500,000 a job. 1 million for every two jobs created...or saved.

Check below to see how screwed your state is from the stimulus:

    you're forgetting how much stimulus is left to go...and a lot of it is helping the states overcome their original deficits because they have to balance their budgets by law.

    More! How counter productive to your argument. The stimulus's biggest affect was suppose to be during the 3rd economic quarter. Which ended in sept.

    There's much more of the stimulus left to go.

    We lost 2.7 million jobs and spent 15 million on 30 thousand lousy jobs. adding to our large debt. And the fun is just begining.
