“You created a situation where you cannot be wrong. If the economy loses 2 million jobs over the next few years, you can say yes, but it would've lost 5.5 million jobs. If we create a million jobs, you can say, well, it would have lost 2.5 million jobs.”- Baucus (D-MT)

The opposite has been proved, in point of fact.  Caterpillar , who 0Bama had said would be hiring people back if his Porkulous bill was passed, has in fact laid off more people since the bill was passed.

Yes, but if it weren't for Porkulus it would have been more people laid-off so Obama succeeded helping Catepillar "hire" additional people and save jobs.

It's like being a weather forecaster: If you say there is only a 1% chance of rain and it rains, you're still right.

I believe this was pointed out here in several different  threads. Now, the politicians and general public begin to catch up. I'm SHOCKED! :evillaugh:
