New CBO Report: Stimulus Is Working
According to a new report from the CBO, the Stimulus has resulted in up to 2.1 million jobs, GDP growth of up to 3.5% in the 4th quarter of 2009 and prevented a further increase in unemployment of around 1%.

No wonder all the Republicans who voted "No" on it go home and brag to their constituents about its success.

Everybody is full of shit. I'm full of shit, sometimes. Right now, I'm half drunk on a taco bell mango strawberry fruitista freeze pumped up with captain morgan, and full of shit.
But, iknow i have seen a few positive signs lately that have nothing to do with cbo, or
sean "eddie munster" hannity, speaking of being full of shit.

So ther.

There is certainly some propaganda surrounding the issue, but I typically find the CBO pretty straigh shooters.
