No, you just don't actually listen. 6 months into President Obama's administration and 1 month after the first funds from the stimulus package started flowing into the economy the recession ended and we've been growing jobs ever since. The stimulus package has been estimated to have created or saved at least 4 million jobs and that's not counting jobs created as a result of getting the ball rolling in the right direction. The auto bailout by itself likely kept close to a million people working.
Then there is the investments in green energy, the regulations on fuel standards, and the Iran Nuclear deal which all contributed to the lowering of gas prices. He also cut the interest rates on subsidized student loans free up money and lowering payments for hundreds of thousands of former students.
I could keep going, but you're not going to listen to reason at all anyway.....
Actually it's at 9.3% and falling which as stated puts it lower than it was on average during most of the Bush administration, and lower than it was in the Early 90's before Clinton took office. Tell us another one.
Yes, it is lower at a cost of 8.6 trillion to the govt and these numbers are something you are proud of?
The recession ended because of TARP not the Obama stimulus most of which wasn't spent in 2009, keep buying the leftwing spin
