"Milton Friedman famously wrote that “the only relevant test of the validity of a hypothesis is comparison of its predictions with experience.” The Obama administration infamously prophesied that failure to pass the original stimulus would send the unemployment rate above eight percent. It ultimately eclipsed ten percent, and has remained above nine percent for all but a few months of Barack Obama’s presidency.

"...unprecedented third quarter growth of 3.5%..."
3.5% is unprecedented? We've never achieved 3.5% growth before?
What's the evidence that we wouldn't have achieved 3.5% "unprecedented" growth without stimulus? Whose to say that wouldn't have happened? Neither side can say with impunity that it did or didn't contribute to that "unprecendented" growth.
If they would have double stimulus would we have had 7%? quadrupled 14%?
Mike Papantonio is an absolute joke. He is a complete disgrace to the legal profession all over this country, and he is one of the 99% of lawyers who give the other 1% a bad name. He is the embodiment of the biggest special interest constituency in this country - TRIAL LAWYERS - that provides the largest source of funding to the Democratic Party coffers. Howard Dean was right - the Democrats don't have the courage to bite the hand that feeds them by enacting sensible tort reform in all states.
@NonSoccerFan you need to focus on the supreme court ruling in favor of corporations over the American people (citizens united). you are an absolute joke. if your head is a soccer ball, i wouldn't even kick it for fear of staining my feet. speaking of lawyers, george w. nominated more unqualified lawyers to his cabinet than any other presidents.
@TheKkronic420 I can actually hear you getting stupider through my computer screen. I've read the Citizens United majority opinion, the concurrences, and the dissents, and I've listened to the transcript from the oral arguments. Justice Scalia absolutely annihilated the attorney trying to argue that "corporations aren't persons." I was embarrassed FOR that lawyer. You are WAY out of our league trying to argue Supreme Court precedent with me. Better go take another swig of the Obama Kool-Aid.
Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it. Ronald Reagan
Um keep in mind the growth of an economy is through spending. The problem with this economy over the last 30 years is that the spending has been done in the wrong areas. As in money going to the rich to spend and the fact of uneccessary wars! The middle class stimulates the economy PERIOD! Plus the ignorant woman lied about home buying. It is actually if you are a 1ST time home buyer you get a tax credit! Fair and Balanced! LOL!
Got two words for you Republicans, "SUCK IT!!!!!!!!" And this is just the beginning! I CAN'T WAIT to rub MORE accomplishment in your FACE you lying, hypocritical, greedy bastards!!!!!
Its a great day when the conservatives are standing in the face of reality. Although, if things start turning around and staying that way consistantly, you do realize it would be because of Bush, right? For being a party of Family values, and christian morals, they sure do commit a lot of sins. While they judge everyone elses "sins". People that make you go hmmm...are hypocrites!
Man this is HIGH COMEDY!! LOL!! They were blaming the Economy on Obama back in October saying that his expected when was causing the numbers to tank, then when get got in they really started ramping up the "Obama recession" after a couple of months they tried to say he owns the recession now and then when the economy picks up they are scrambling to take that away from Obama. LOL!
Did you hear Cavuto say, at 2:10 "it took a while but you got Bush in there"? Why do you think Fox News never hesitated to bring Clinton's name up throughout Bush's presidency?Seeing how Fox claims to be "Fair and Balanced", this doesn't make sense. Maybe we can see through the bias, and hatred for the Obama administration or see past the "deep-seeded hatred for white people or the white culture"? Obama could cure cancer, and the right would protest that also, "Patriotically" of course. LMAO!
I cant stand watching Cavuto. He is so arrogant speaks condescendingly to people he doesn't agree with.

The worst recession since the 1930s and he's saying 'at last'?
Eight years of taking the country down and backwards had to take its toll.
Now we have proper management in the White House who are repairing the damage, much to the chagrin of the extremem right lunatic fringe.
