"Asked if the stimulus package would be able to stop the 22,000 layoffs or not, Owens said, "I think realistically no. The truth is we're going to have more layoffs before we start hiring again."


Um... Shaman... that statement reflects every single business in the entire United States of America, that is currently facing a down turn, regardless of if they get one penny of Stimulus money or not.


MY COMPANY is saying they might have to lay off a few people before they start rehiring.  And they have no chance at stimulus money whatsoever.


The whole point of the stimulus was to *STOP LAYOFFS* from happening to begin with.   Which it clearly will not do.   Which means it was a pointless waste of public funds.
