[quote=CNN]The recovery is picking up steam as employers boost payrolls, but economists think the government's stimulus package and jobs bill had little to do with the rebound, according to a survey released Monday.
In latest quarterly survey by the National Association for Business Economics, the index that measures employment showed job growth for the first time in two years -- but a majority of respondents felt the fiscal stimulus had no impact.
NABE conducted the study by polling 68 of its members who work in economic roles at private-sector firms. 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. More than two-thirds of those polled believe the measure won't affect payrolls, while 30% expect it to boost hiring "moderately."
But the economists see conditions improving. More than half of respondents -- 57% -- say industrial demand is rising, while just 6% see it declining. A growing number also said their firms are increasing spending and profit margins are widening.
Nearly a quarter of those surveyed forecast that gross domestic product, the broadest measure of economic activity, will grow more than 3% in 2010, and 70% of NABE's respondents expect it to grow more than 2%.
Still, the survey suggested that tight lending conditions remain a concern. Almost half of those polled said the credit crunch hurts their business.[/quote]

Gee, sounds to me that the stimulus was given credit for something it didn't do.
Glaber thread. Move along people.
This is news?
Glaber has posted so many news stories with a conservative agenda that nobody pays attention even when the source is CNN. It's like the [I]Boy Who Cried Socialist[/I]
Only for some reason people keep posting in the threads instead of ignoring them.
People are dumb. That's not news.
Thanks Obama, thanks.
So, a survey of 68 people's personal opinions = fact now?
Glaber you're a fucking moron.
You see? even though it's done nothing at all it still somehow promotes socialism!
Maybe I'm wrong but I thought it was only supposed to keep large companies out of bankruptcy, causing job loss etc, rather than boost the general economy.
ZNN Editorial:
The opinions of a few economists do not sway the facts. If you look at the numbers, you'll see that the stimulus did help.

That was the bailout, it was different.
I knew that map pack wouldn't help..

I'll need to start cherrypicking quotes for my news threads.

prismatex is a liberal with very biased stories, nobody complains about that
Prisma doesn't call the president names, like glaber does

Facts have a liberal bias.
Read the article this thread is about - it says employers are hiring more, economists think the economy is getting better, etc. but Glaber chooses to mention that they don't think the stimulus had any effect.

I agree with you and all Prisma, but you and your gang of liberal fight-em-ups aren't very tolerant to conservatives at all.
I remember talking to this one guy who was crazy anti-Obama and anti-stimulus back in the summer, who was a Marxist. Just sayin'

But the conservatives somehow are? I've seen that neither side is particularly tolerant of the other side, but I've yet to see conservatives even try to be tolerant. Liberals at least seem to try.
Not to mention, there is no "liberal beat ups" here, it's a few neo-con's acting like idiots and misunderstanding news for their own benefit.

I respect the smart ones. I don't respect the ones who have completely crazy positions, who don't care about facts, or who repeat the same red herring arguments.
Glaber, Gmod_Fan77, Jenkem, et al. are in the latter group.
