The American Enterprise Institute has a nice chart comparing what the actual unemployment rate (adjusted) has been versus what the Obama administration said it would be if his so called “stimulus plan” was not passed, and what the Obama administration predicted it would be if passed.
Not surprisingly, the actual unemployment rate has been higher than the Obama administration predicted would have been the case if Congress had NOT passed the do-called “stimulus plan.”
