No kidding. The initial assumptions (look at 1Q2009) were clearly wrong -- already about a 0.6% difference even before the stimulus was passed. Both curves should be much steeper. To be objective (when did you last see that word in this noosegroup), I'd give the stimulus another 2 quarters to really see its effect.

Well, I'm not a chart man, but tend to just observe common sense instead. I am not better off than I was when Obammer took office, in fact my healthcare cost has tripled, no pay raises this year, and I don't feel safe anymore as far as this country being protected.
We are going the wrong way, but the wool is firmly in place.

Not sure why you don't feel safe. Hasn't Obama continued most of the Bush era practices? In any case, it's hard to know but I think without the stimulus, we would be much worse off (economists agree).

Being in the defense industry, the answer is nope.

No doubt the very same economist (both parties BTW) who have been getting it wrong for the past couple of years. Also, continuing the Bush policies, which were bad enough, doesn't excuse expanding and/or redefining those policies.
Do you also believe the "we created or saved X number of jobs" from the administration? Hell, Obama couldn't even create or save enough Democrat votes in one of the bluest states.
