Just to tie into David’s post below, here is a graph showing what The Obama Team said would happen to the unemployment statistics if the Stimupalooza did pass versus if it didn’t.

I’m sure than nary an “ooops” will be uttered by the White House, nor will it be asked for by the White House Press Corps.

The book would have to have a chapter devoted to economics, and this material would fit right in.
