Stimulus Package Gone Wrong

Statistics Show Stimulus Package Results Have Gone From Bad to Worse By Peter Roff, Thomas Jefferson Street blog

This survey was conducted by the Republicans on the House Ways & Means Committee, who gathered information showing that the White House's proposed "fix" for the economy isn't working. The research was assisted by numbers given by the U.S. Department of Labor showing the actual change in state payroll employment through February 2010. With Barack Obama and much of the White House being of the Democratic party, the Republican party could be using these numbers to their advantage, showing the people that their plans are not really working. the methodology in how they got these numbers is just not described but says that they came from the U.S. Department of Labor. the information is clear and the point of the article and survey is clear to readers. the table at the end of the article is easy to read and with the help of red and green highlighted colors, you can clearly see that there were only two out of the fifty states that have done well since this new stimulus package has been put into place.
