1,600,000 jobs lost vs 150,000 jobs 'saved'

So. Are you working? How about your spouse? Your grown children? Your parents? Do you have a 'recession-proof' job? Are you a nurse that can't find work? How about an auto mechanic? Maybe the restaurant you worked at closed. Or some large manufacturer that depends on the auto industry. How about a bank? Oh, wait, they got money, so you're probably still working...

We have lost 10.6 TIMES the number of jobs 'created' or 'saved'. And in the process we have bankrupted our children and their children and pretty much destroyed the basic American Dream.

How's that 'change' workin' for ya?

BTW, the unemployment rate in Michigan is expected to hit near or at 20%. Hope it's better where you're living.

Just how much of an impact Obama's recovery program had on the pace of job losses is up for debate. Obama has claimed as many as 150,000 jobs saved or created
