Political Factoid
The Obama stimulus:*
- 2009 - added millions of employed workers
and boosted the GDP higher
than it would have been without the stimulus.
- 2010 - raised real GDP and held the
unemployment rate lower, and added
jobs to U.S. payrolls.
- 2011 - raised real GDP and lowered the
unemployment rate, compared with what
would have occurred without it.

Albeit, some may call it the Republican Stimulus,
since the idea for it came from the last year of the
Bush administration.
