I am tired of repeating the mantra:
"The President did not say that passing the stimulus would keep the level of unemployment under 8 percent!"
I keep hearing it left and right. For the record. The 8 percent figure came from a report his economic advisers released in January 2009, BEFORE he was elected.
If you want more info on this - check out:
Politifact - George Will
I would not even give it a "Barely True" - I would give it a false.
The unemployment rate in February, when the stimulus passed was already at 8%
So how can the stimulus hold the rate to something lower than it already is???!!!
