Tim, > Also even if they did do a real study that would just be developing and presenting their own opinion not some unquestionable statement of absolute uncontestable fact. Even the CBO conclusion is bogus. Stimulus "created or saved" 3.5 million jobs? That implies unemployment would have been 12.5% instead of near 10% had it not been for government intervention. Only problem is that no one ever projected 12.5%. Even the CBO estimated that unemployment would have gone to 9% without stimulus. Tenchusatsu
