Sen. Masshole says stimulus didn't create a single new job

[BeyondGeography]

Newly-sworn “Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown says the last economic stimulus bill did not create even one new job, a claim that most economists would dispute,” the AP reports.

Brown made the assertion moments after he was sworn in Thursday by Vice President Joe Biden to the seat held for nearly half a century by the late Democratic Sen. Edward Kennedy.

Convening his first news conference, Brown said the last economic stimulus bill didn’t create a single new job. He added that it may have retained some jobs, but didn’t create any new ones.

Republicans have questioned the way President Barack Obama’s administration has counted jobs created or saved with stimulus money. But most economists believe new jobs were created even though unemployment rates rose.

10. Here Senator. Your first act is to read this.

the Dems should get their own Joe the Plumber who travels around the country saying "I'm the guy with the new job that Scott Brown says doesn't exist".

13. Clearly he is wrong

Plenty of government jobs were created. I'm not sure how the private sector breaks down but I'm sure at *least* one new job was created. The trouble is that all of the new jobs created, be it in private industry or in the government aren't really new. They just replace jobs that ended up being lost. There's not a positive net growth of newly created jobs vs what there once was.
