Here is more hokum and made up “facts” the White House is trying to get people to swallow. I can’t understand how Maximum Berry can back up these numbers. But again, there is an old adage when trying to sell hokum. “Never let the facts get away of a good story.”

National Economic Council Director Lawrence Summers
"Thanks largely to the Recovery Act, alongside an aggressive financial stabilization plan and a program to keep responsible homeowners in their homes, we have walked a substantial distance back from the economic abyss and are on the path toward economic recovery," Summers wrote to House Republican leader John Boehner.

He also said they believe the unemployment rate would be 2 percentage points lower by the end of 2010 than it would have been without the stimulus plan.

Conclusion, by The One's own plan we'd be better off without the stimulus package.
