yep, Barney can be frank

but he's not nearly as mistaken in frequency as rightwingnuts lie.

Republicans have hammered away at Obama and congressional Democrats who supported the stimulus act, calling it a failure for not spurring the kind of job growth that the president had promised.​

For example, Barney properly characterized the prediction/projection for what it was, as opposed to characterizing it as a "promise" lying rightwingnuts long have.

What I'd like see him address, assuming he isn't killed for such a transgression as well as it already serving as the proximate cause for his having decided to retire, is this.

Add conservative economist Douglas Holtz-Eakin to the ranks of experts whose work shows that the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 operated exactly as intended, growing the economy and creating millions of jobs. It may seem surprising that Holtz-Eakin, the former Congressional Budget Office director, former chief economic advisor to Sen. John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign, and current president of the conservative American Action Forum, would throw his support behind the stimulus bill. But that’s what he’s done—whether he likes it or not.

Why? Because the very methodology he repeatedly used to discredit the stimulus actually shows it was a remarkable success.
