It Only Cost $5 Trillion, but Here is What you Got

In a lot of ways I hope I get people who complain about this chart, pointing out how unfair it is, or misleading, because after all, who could have known how bad the George Bush economy was ... The fun part will then be showing that THIS CHART WAS CREATED BY OBAMA. His people were kind enough to show us taxpayers what was going to happen to the unemployment rate if we did not pass a stimulus package, and they were kind enough to show us whatt would happen (in contrast) if they did. They laid it all out. All this chart does is add to the pieces that Obama and his economic created, the actual real-life data on top of the projection data. Perhaps it will give some pause who are attracted to what Obama is predicting about his second term. For me, I prefer the approach of David Axelrod, Obama's Top Advisor and #1 right-hand man: “The choice in this election,” said Axelrod, “is between an economy that produces a growing middle class and that gives people a chance to get ahead and their kids a chance to get ahead and an economy that continues down the road we are on.”
