All told, the nation has lost 2.6 million jobs since the "shovel ready" stimulus dollars started to flow, rather than create the promised 3.5 million, putting the Obama administration 6.1 million jobs in the hole. That's a lot of jobs to make up in twelve months, and at a pace that would outstrip even the Reagan Recovery, which ultimately created 20 million new jobs by the end of his eight-year presidency.

Not one person in the Obama Administration or Congress said that the Recovery Act would impact jobs much in 2009. As you can see on recovery.gov... only a little over 31% of the funds have been AWARDED and only a fraction of those projects have even been started yet... so they haven't even received funding yet.
