If you've listened to the ads Liar Toomey has bombarded you with (and isn't it nice that he's spending 25 million of your dollars to win a job that pays $125,000? And the Republicans tell you they're concerned about big spending in Government?), he's told you the stimulus didn't work and cost money. The CBO (Congressional Budget Office - which is NOT affiliated with either party and is quite neutral) says Toomey is a liar. As is John Boehner and all the Republicans.
Read this and ask Toomey why he's lying.


From the Washington Post:

...President Obama's much-maligned economic stimulus package added as many as 3.3 million jobs to the economy during the second quarter of this year, and may have prevented the nation from lapsing back into recession, according to a report released Tuesday by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office.

In its latest quarterly assessment of the act, the CBO said the stimulus lowered the unemployment rate by between 0.7 and 1.8 percentage points during the quarter ending in June and increased the number of people employed by between 1.4 million and 3.3 million. The higher figure would come close to making good on Obama's pledge that the act would save or create as many as 3.5 million jobs by the end of this year.
