奥巴马一次经济刺激奏效否？（视频）
The most news in the morning. CNN's American Morning, weekdays 6AM ET.
CHETRY: And it's stimulus week on CNN here. We are talking every hour. We are taking a look at how your tax dollars are being spent. Who is getting help from the money? Who may have abused the program? There is a new CNN poll out, we want to show you right now, showing that most Americans now oppose the stimulus. And as President Obama starts his second year in office, unemployment is still in double digits.
So how is this all working? Joining us to talk about it is Christa Freeland, U.S. managing editor for the Financial Times. We are also joined by economist and economic analyst Lakshman Achuthan, and our own Christine Romans. Thanks to all of you for being with us.
So, let's talk in general, and feel free to jump in, but I'm going to ask you first, Christa. We'll start with the House figure, the White House figure, saying that 2 million jobs were saved or created. And Christina pointed out before how difficult it is to sort of, chart that and prove it. But what is your take about how accurate that 2 million jobs were saved or created by the stimulus is?
CHRISTA FREELAND, MANAGING EDITOR, "FINANCIAL TIMES": Well, I think first of all, it's always going to be possible to find little examples where the White House counting didn't work. It was a huge amount of stimulus money and that is a lot of jobs. So it's not going to be totally accurate. And the saved aspect of it is the hardest to track. How do you tell if a job would have been lost without the money? But I think that roughly speaking it's right, and I think that rough, overall we have to say the stimulus was a really great thing simply because if you look back to where we were last year, the whole world felt like it was potentially poised on the brink of a second great depression. Things are not terrific today, but employment is rising, this is not the 1930s, and the stimulus is part of the reason without the case.
