The first major piece of legislation under the Obama admin seems to have been a success.
The stimulus bill "has added 1.6 million to 1.8 million jobs so far and that its ultimate impact will be roughly 2.5 million jobs. The Congressional Budget Office, an independent agency, considers these estimates to be conservative."
Do you realize the biggest problem with the stimulus bill. The repubs were able to frame the message about the stimulus bill. More people think the bill was a failure when it did exactly what dems/economists said it would do.
Dems still have really learned the power of framing the message.
