Any specific claim for amount of employment boosted by a stimulus program is either dishonest or colossally ignorant. There is no controlled experiment here. No way to know what employment would have been without the stimulus program.

The administrations claims here are much more reasonable than the following claim would be if it was meant seriously and not as a joke.

This Blog Post Saved At Least 10 Jobs Today

Seriously.

At least that’s what the macro model I built says. It has some very sophisticated algorithms.

According to the model, the associated bandwidth cost for this post was enough to keep the blog hosting gang going and because of that, they kept making payments on all the computer equipment, power and rent/lease obligations they have associated with their hosting site, which in turn kept a computer retailer/power company/real estate firm from laying off folks while also paying those down the line from them today and having the same effect.

Seriously.

Go ahead - prove me wrong.
