Obama administration claims ‘jobs saved or created’ in congressional districts that don’t exist

  The federal government seems to be reporting erroneous jobs created or saved numbers in order to make the stimulus look more succesful than it is instead of the failure that it actually is. What other conclusion can you come to after reading this article which highlights such inconsistencies as the government spending money in congressional districts that don’t exist?

  This article lists millions of dollars in spending that was sent to congressional districts that do not exist creating a few hundred jobs. Leaving aside the huge amount of money spent to create so few jobs, one is left to wonder if those jobs actually exist considering the districts do not.

  Naturally the government is not taking the blame for fudging the numbers, intentional or not, they are instead blaming the recipients of the money for providing the wrong information.

Some recipients clearly don’t know what congressional district they live in, so they appear to be just throwing in any number

  Even if that statement is true and the Obama administration isn’t purposely inflating the job numbers as I think that he is, is it any less disturbing that the government officials who are receiving and disbursing the money don’t know what congressional district they are in?

  That thought may be more disturbing because I always expected Obama to fudge the job numbers;  he started using the “jobs saved” terminology because it would be too hard quantify actual jobs saved. But to think that those who are in charge of spending the stimulus money don’t even know what district they represent is just too frightening to ponder.

  So, the options are; either the government is skewing the jobs created or saved numbers, or the officials who are receiving the money are inept and irresponsible. I ask you which is worse.

  And these people want to run our healthcare system.
