This chart shows the predicted and actual unemployment rates. It was produced by former Obama administration economists Christina Romer and Jared Bernstein. Remember during the dark days of early 2009 we were told that if the stimulus bill was not passed the unemployment rate might go as high as 9%. At best the stimulus wasted $800 billion dollars but there is one, rather technical, study that makes the case the stimulus package actually cost jobs.
