No, they'd probably say:

"From the beginning of this, jobs have been expected to be the last thing to start on the upswing. Everyone has consistently said that the jobs situation will get worse and probably won't start improving until late-2009."

But hey, it's the largest economy in the world. Bush took 8 years to royally eff it up. Why can't it be fixed overnight?

Well, Johhny. If they were to say that, the'd be lying. The Administration has already claimed to have created 150,000 jobs as a direct result of the stimulus. Yet, even the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics can't confirm that.

In fact, the only industry that has had significant growth in job #'s since the stimulus package is the goverment (i.e patronage jobs for friends of the administration).

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

The ROOT CAUSE of what we are experiencing today is a direct result of Clinton policies, it takes that long for the economic cycles to develop. Just as people don't realize the posperity we enjoyed durign the Clinton years were a result of what Regan put in place so many years sooner. Imagine if we were still making all the stuff that went offshore as a result of China Free Trade Agreement (clinton) and moved south because of NAFTA (clinton).
