Nice avoidance of the last part of my post. No retraction, no admission of the reality, just the same old crap from you.

I'm done - you can have the last word. I'm out.

Damn dude...nice avoidance of the fact that your independent site uses the same data, as I have pointed out on several occasions now. Yet is somehow more credible? You dont see the fallacy of that argument? IMO, narrow-minded thinking.

If I recall, you've said you personally know several people who received stimulus funds. Do you think they are inherently biased, or intentionally misleading, and inflate the numbers when they report the jobs data as required by the law? Not the hundreds that I know. Another sweeping generalization w/o foundation and, IMO, narrow-minded.

And thank you for acknowledging that you are part of the problem as well. I stand corrected.

Changing a quote to my name? A classic response!

In fact, if you look at any independent study of a large government program, you are most likely to find that the independent study relies heavily, if not solely, on data either generated by the government or submitted by federal program recipients and compiled by the government.

But then if you had ever done any independent research on federal programs in your career, you would probably know that.
