Washington, DC–(ENEWSPF)– In a New York Post op-ed, Brian Riedl of the Heritage Foundation falsely suggested that President Obama promised that the stimulus would end net job losses; in fact, Obama stated in February 2009 before the stimulus passed that the "magnitude of the crisis" means that even with the stimulus "you’re going to have some net job loss, but at least we can start slowing the trend." Additionally, Riedl attacked the "White House estimate of ‘saving’ nearly 2 million jobs" as "nothing but faith-based economics," ignoring that the administration’s estimates of the stimulus’ job impact falls within the range of those given by independent analysts.
