It's a chart from Moody's and their chief economist, Mark Zandi. Page 13 http://www.economy.com/mark-zandi/documents/Economic_Stimulus_House_Plan_012109.pdf It's already off because these were estimates by Zandi made much earlier in the year: January 21st, 2009. However, it is an excellent resource because he actually breaks down where the $550 billion of spending is going on Page 8. An excellent read.
sure, we will just fill that gap 5 yrs later. put off for today what we will eventually have tomorrow.
Why don't you objectively explain to us all why the UE rate is where it's at when we were told it would stay well below these levels with the stimulus? I suppose you'll tell us that it is because it hasn't all been spent yet? I love liberal logic!
I'm not a liberal. I just don't spend my entire day bitching, moaning, whining, and hammering away at the current Administration the way that you do. Seriously, if someone was to take a look at all of your posts here on ET (99% of which are always posted in the Politics & Religion Forum), they would find you bitching, moaning, whining, and making one ad-hominem attack after another on the current Administration. They've only been in office for 6 months . . . I'm willing to give them a little more time. After all, it took George Bush 8 years to send this entire economy down the toilet. Let us all know when you actually TRADE for a LIVING . . . Perhaps then, you might have something intelligent and insightful to say.
A few you of you forgot that Slick Willy changed how the unemployment numbers are reported. They only show half of the real numbers now. We're close to 19% at this time.

Obama expected employment to be positive this early? Holy shit! He's dumber than I thought. TGregg: That chart has to be made up or a joke, right?
