Trillions and trillions worth of economic stimulus over four years, and the best our economy can provide is an 8.2% unemployment rate.
Economist Alan Tonelson, a research fellow at the U.S. Business & Industrial Council Educational Foundation, says the reason the various stimulous plans haven’t worked is because there’s “a big hole in the bucket.”

Tonelson also explains why the private sector has been actually creating fewer jobs than advertised.
