WASHINGTON — Vice President Joe Biden cited more positive economic data on Tuesday, using it to buttress the Obama administration's argument that its $787 billion stimulus program is doing its job and revving up the economy.
"I can tell you today, without reservation, the Recovery Act is working," Biden told reporters after a White House meeting about the stimulus program with members of the administration's economic team. President Barack Obama was not present.
Nearly six months after Obama signed the stimulus program into law, the administration is trying to counter criticism, as well as perceptions, that the program has failed to create thousands of promised jobs.
"Our critics say they don't think this program is helping," he said. "It is helping. I think it would be hard to tell the young family who just bought their first home because of the tax credit or the thousands of people who just traded in gas-guzzlers for more efficient cars that this is having no impact."
Despite signs of progress, Biden cautioned that full economic recovery is still a long way off.
"Less bad is not good," he said.

It is. The goal is to not cut government.
We need Obiden art ... How about a Obiden stylized goofy character.
The man is a genius!!!
Biden proves once and for all that there is a REASON we call them the "loony left"!! There's also a reason that zero tries to keep him from public view and taking his meds on a regular schedule!!
Stand up Joe!
A couple weeks ago he made a gaffe and said it wasn’t meeting it’s goals.
. . .to socialize America.
Yes, the goal is to establish the first increment of control over the entire U.S. economy.
I remember when a reporter would have asked that question...
Say Joe, how much of the stimulus money has been spent, and of that, how much actually went for stimulus projects?
By Mr. Obama’s standards, any capital outlay for any reason IS a stimulus. He has said as much.
Thanks for your post, I agree.
