FACT CHECK: Stimulus assessments overly optimistic
By FREDERIC J. FROMMER (AP) – 11 hours ago

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration claimed this week that $100 billion invested in innovative technologies under the economic stimulus law is "transforming the American economy" by putting the nation on track for technological breakthroughs in health care, energy and transportation.

But an examination of details in the 50-page report unveiled Tuesday by Vice President Joe Biden reveals something a bit different: a collection of rosy projections that ignore many of the challenges, pitfalls and economic realities in all those areas.

The whitehouse resident’s propaganda ministry says lots of things which have no facutal basis. This sound bite is one of the many.

"an all-out effort to exploit the crisis "

That's putting it mildly.

Borrowing of a phrase Reagan used...

Are you better off that you were 4 Trillion Dollars Ago?

When 99 weeks of unemployment isn’t enough, and must be expanded, that’s “change”. I could use a 2-yr paid vacation myself.

$1 TRILLION to “save or create” 3 million jobs? Give me $1 trillion and I’ll create 5 million jobs and they won’t be just temporary make-work jobs either.

when Obama, Pelosi Reid or Biden talk about the stimulus they need to preface it with “once upon a time” and end it with “and they all lived happily ever after”
