there's be an additional million people out of work if the stimulus crap hadn't been done.
sauce?
You need a source to prove that tons of people would have been out of a job had GM and Chrysler closed shop?
i disagree with this.there's be an additional million people out of work if the stimulus crap hadn't been done.
if he's going to give a figure of a million, yes he should source it.
and the purchase of gm and chrysler were separate from the stimulus. and both gm and chrysler together have about a quarter million employees, not a million.
the bailouts and the stimulus were not the same thing. gm and chrysler buyouts - as well as a number of others - were entirely independent of either stimulus package.there were a number of other companies who were bailed out, not just those two. and in terms of just those 2 companies there would have been a cascade effect with a bunch of their parts suppliers going under or being barely solvent at best. don't have a source. I'm being just as wildly speculative as fly though a lot more realistic, imo.

Gotcha on the first point.
On the latter, it goes deeper. Them closing would have destroyed the company I used to work for and numerous other ones like it (steel processing plant) which in turn would have destroyed steel manufacturing plants and their companies.
I was actually being conservative when I said a million more jobs could have been lost.
here's one that says the stimulus potentially created and saved 3.5 mil jobs
