Conveniently left out of the DUmmy op are these two paragraphs from the article.
The Recovery Act has already had its greatest impact on the economy and its effects will continue to wane into 2011, CBO said.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has called on Congress to take additional measures to stimulate the economy, but analysts say his plea will probably go unanswered as Republicans eye sharp spending cuts for next year.

In other words...Throw massive amounts of money at pork projects and private/public unions and you will push some numbers until the money runs out.
It does nothing to actually make for sustaining economic growth.
Worse yet as it was borrowed money that now must be paid back with interest the long term effects are even more detrimental.
Please correct me if I am wrong but the CBO merely scores things as Congress tells them what is,hence in the run up to Obamacare they declared it to cut the deficit because Congress declared they were going to cut 500 billion or so out of Medicare by cutting waste and fraud.
Of course the only fraud there was the dem Congress saying they would do that but since it was in the package the CBO had to score it as being factual.
