or is there another package you're referring to?

No, jatki, you picked the right one. Its ths same act the CBO said created over 3 million jobs. Help me out. How many jobs has the 40 votes to kill Obamacare created. And do you know of any other Bills the Boehner Congress has passed to improve the economy?
I believe the bulk of those three mil jobs were in the auto and and ancillary job market that the 24.9B bailout that was afforded the big 3, the only bailout that I didn't have much of a problem with at all. Not too shabby of a ROI, govt spending wise. That begs the question, what of the rest of the 700+ Billion that was spent? Wherea re all the jobs that money created?
I guess this is just where we differ PJ, you somehow think that a govt. that is already 17+Trillion and climbing in debt should just keeping throwing money at the job creation wall and hope a few dollars stick. I think it's incredibly wasteful and naive thinking that that more money for any "shovel ready" jobs (pick whatever term you like) would be money well spent right now. Isn't this govt. so obscenely over bloated enough right now?

BTW we're not addressing about the other ails of congress right now, it's a deflection of the topic at hand.
