well the stimulus did do one thing...it bought state and local government jobs for another year or two, which is why you see the decline in that area now. It postponed the inevitable.
FOOTNOTE: The Dems STILL control the Presidency and the Senate and you think because the House has a slight Republican majority it's stopping everything? That's too much BS for a year much less one day. The least Reid could do is pass a damn budget. Oh yeh, he got the jobs bill to the floor in 48 hours so where the hell is the budget?
Disingenuous on so many levels don't know where to start, or just fire one zinger back...decisions decisions. I'll go with full counterattack.
First and foremost, it's convenient to forget that DEMOCRATS controlled the Presidency, the House, and the Senate for the first two years of the Obama presidency. Why the hell didn't he present his "jobs" bill then??? Oh wait, he DID. Then he called it a "stimulus" bill that's right almost forgot. Oh, but wait again, those jobs were "shovel ready" and GUARANTEED to keep the unemployment under 8 (read that EIGHT) percent IF we all joined together in BIPARTISAN love to vote for it.....and YES WE CAN and DID......ONLY to find out that unemployment not only exceeded 8% in early 2009 but it CONTINUES to be above 8% but by GOD if it hadn't been for the STIMULUS golly gee whizzakers we would have had over 10% unemployment!!!!! Oops, wait, we did. And still do if math was done right. And let's not forget all the HIGH PAYING quality jobs that Obama's created leading to rampant UNDEREMPLOYMENT....
He never said such a thing. A bureaucrat. Obama never said that. But don't be bothered by facts.
so yeh, Obama's policies PROPOSED AND PASSED by the DEMOCRATS led to this unemployment mess and THEY have ownership of it now. Its the worst economy since the Depression and the Dems can't pass it off on anyone else. It's their bailiwick RJ so finally man up and accept it.
What have they stopped?
Wrong again, from the time the first dollar of the stimulus got into the economy in July 2009, there has been a net gain of jobs in the US.
just once, I wish you would get some facts straight and not be a parrot of the right.
Missed the point again RJ. Give me a trillion dollars and I would manage some job growth. Obama said, go back and look at the speeches, that if Congress passed the Stimulus that unemployment would be kept under 8 percent. His words, not mine. He didn't promise "a net gain of jobs in the U.S.".
For once I wish you'd get your facts straight and not pretend Obama hasn't promised things over and over to oversell the stimulus and lie about the costs of Obamacare etc. etc. etc. It will prove to be his undoing.

What haven't they?
Was just trying to paste the graph. Fail.
That is just bullshit DC poltics. I want to know specifically what the Pubs have stopped that otherwise the Dems would have passed.
Not sure what your question is. Filibusters are used to stop things that otherwise would have passed.
What? Tell me what the Dems would have passed of note that the Pubs have stopped.
What was filibustered. That's what.
and we all whistled passed the graveyard
edit...the sooner we realize we have party 1A and party 1B the better off we will be
