Crossroads GPS, the independent group founded in part by Karl Rove, today launched a whopping $20 million Summer TV ad campaign assailing President Obama’s economic record. “Obama’s $830 billion stimulus failed,” the ad says. The graphic for this claim cites the Congressional Budget Office.
In the CBO's report it stated in Q1 of 2011 the stimulus bill raised real (inflation-adjusted) gross domestic product by between 1.1 percent and 3.1 percent; lowered the unemployment rate by between 0.6 percentage points and 1.8 percentage points; and increased the number of people employed by between 1.2 million and 3.3 million. So besides not understanding words like "compromise, evolution, science, college, civility, American" it appears we can add "fail" to the list.
