I could believe her, as long as we're talking about programs. Unemployment compensation has to be creating some jobs, even if a bunch of them are involved in unemployment compensation, which is more than can be said for the "Green Jobs" initiative, which relies almost entirely on artificial demand....and supply, come to think of it.

Of course, bear in mind that creating jobs for the electorate is not exactly what most state unemployment insurance is for; it's more about preserving jobs for the elected. In that respect it has a pretty decent track record, minus one significant attempt at welfare reform.
