The jobs lost with the stimulus bill passed, a visual representation
Some time back I linked to a video wherein the videographer had used a clever “pennies-as-millions” approach to make the Obama proposed budget cuts much clearer for those of us non-economist types. Well, he’s back again, this time with a penny-wise analogy to help you visualize the job losses we’ve incurred since the so-called stimulus bill was passed.
Bear in mind that important last point: we have lost over a million jobs more than if we had not passed that bill at all and that’s by Obama’s own numbers. In short, we’d have still lost the jobs but 1) it might actually have been less and 2) we wouldn’t have run up the astronomical debt we’ve seen. That’s key to remember, folks.
