Well, well, well, color me shocked:
"In latest quarterly survey by the National Association for Business Economics…a majority of respondents felt the fiscal stimulus had no impact…About 73% of those surveyed said employment at their company is neither higher nor lower as a result of the $787 billion Recovery Act, which the White House's Council of Economic Advisers says is on track to create or save 3.5 million jobs by the end of the year…That sentiment is shared for the recently passed $17.7 billion jobs bill that calls for tax breaks for businesses that hire and additional infrastructure spending."
A trillion dollars of taxpayer money down the sinkhole, and… for nothing.
