"How much did Obama spend to "create" or "save" one million jobs? "

To date? Looks to be somewhere between $300 billion and $400 billion. Which would be bad if that is all it did. But it also contributed to the slowdown in the deterioration of the economy and we wouldn't be seeing those "green shoots" that everyone is talking about. Which is not to say that we can just sit back and watch the flowers bloom.

We can't.

But we certainly were looking at the world economy doing a gigantic belly flop. Without the various stimulus packages, you are aware that the US isn't the only one doing this, aren't you?, we would be in dire straits. Now, maybe not.
