3,500,000 Jobs Saved Or Created By Stimulus: In February 2009, Obama Predicted That The Stimulus Would Save Or Create 3.5 Million Jobs. And tonight, I am grateful that this Congress delivered, and pleased to say that the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is now law.

Because this is about getting this out and spent in 18 months to create 3.5 million jobs and do -- to set -- tee this up so the rest of the good work that's being done here literally drop-kicks us out of this recession and we begin to grow again and begin to employ people again.
