Jobs Saved or Created in Congressional Districts That Don't Exist - ABC News

Hilarious. Yeah, just a mistake.....riiiiiiiiight? just like this mistake?

My Way News - Stimulus jobs overstated by thousands

All honest mistakes. I'm sure Bush would have been given the same benefit of the doubt by the media.

In Oklahoma, recovery.gov lists more than $19 million in spending -- and 15 jobs created -- in yet more congressional districts that don't exist.


if i start saying good things about obama, do i get one of those $1 million plus jobs?

[husker]

then there is cash for clunkers that cost $24,000/car to give the $4,000 (or less)/car.

come on lib's, tell us how the govt is going to do things cheaper than the privat industry with healthcare.

Hey Harold. What are the sources to those findings? Oh yeah. The MEDIA! So what benefit of the doubt did he receive from the MEDIA? One is AP (Which distributes their stories to every media oulet worldwide) and the other ABC. Two of largest media outlets in the world.

It's about the level of coverage my friend. If this was going on under Bush it would be front page news in every newspaper out there, and the lead story on CNN, MSNBC, Good Morning America, etc.

That really isn't the point of the post anyway. Care to defend the real point of the story?

You're a real know it all when it comes to the media. The fact that two of largest news gathering organizations in the world covered it shows there is no bias or 'no benefit of the doubt' as you put it.

So I did just a quick Google search and found it on USAToday's site, CBS news site, NPR, MSNBC site, TIME's website....THAT WAS THE FIRST TWO PAGES ON GOOGLE. Should I find more for you ?????

"Wah!!!! The liberal media is biased and never covers anything the Liberals do. Waaaaah!".....Oh, but let me post these stories that the Associated Press wrote and ABC News reported and found on just about every major news outlet's website for millions to see. But they aren't ALL the media. Us poor Conservatives are ALWAYS on the front page about how poorly we do on a daily basis.

Tons of crap Bush did flew under the radar.

And I'll start to defend it when you start defending all the horseshit that the Bush administration put through during his tenure. I know, nothing happened during those 8 wonderful years, right? You wanna compare apples to apples? I would love to compare an overstatement in jobs to many of the things Bush did while in office.

You clearly haven't read my previous posts on issues b/c I AM NOT A GEORGE BUSH DEFENDER. Now, I don't think he is the anti-christ like liberals do, but at best I was luke warm on him. I do think he did a good job keeping the country safe from any more attacks, and liked his tax cuts, but that is where my praise for him stops. Government got way too big for my liking under his administration.

You libs just can't stop talking about Bush and it is so pathetic. Bush is out of office, move on. The only thing you libs can say to defend all the lies and broken promises of Obama is by talking about what Bush did. Two wrongs don't make a right my friend. You shouldn't be giving Obama passes b/c you think Bush was even worse. Who cares? What Bush did or did not do has N-O-T-H-I-N-G to do with what Obama is doing wrong.

[insidethe8thpol]

Just remember, if it doesn't come from a reputable source like the Huffington Post or Daily Kos, it is all garbage


signed,

its not important, you can tell who we are by our anti-bush pins

The problem is, that you 'Neocons' want to pin the blame for a lot of what Bush and his administration caused, on Obama. There is simply NO WAY to tell what Obama's presidency will be like at this point in his term. Bush received far more of a free pass than Obama has so far. He hasn't even gotten his feet wet yet. Talk to me in two and a hlaf years. Everything that has happened with the economy so far in '09 was predicted by economists over a year ago. And it was predicted without knowing who was going to win the presidency and with a certain amount of accuracy. Why is that?

I'll answer for you. Because the economy was headed in the tank more than a year ago. Whoever came into office wasn't going to stop that snowball from turning into an avalanche.

You want me to defend the story? Sure. I read them and came away with the conclusion that yes, there were 30,000 some odd jobs created with $700k of stimulus monies as one part of the story stated.

It is difficult to quantify whether that will have a direct cause and affect.

For instance. Over 1000 jobs were created for road workers doing road repairs. On the surface, that doesn't look to be that impressive. However, what's not factored in that particular survey is, where is all that asphalt going to come from? That's an unquantified cause and affect. And what about the truck drivers to drive that asphalt to the jobs? Again, an unquantified cause and affect. The affect of this stimulus package won't be know overnight.

It's called looking past the trees and seeing the forest my friend. That's something Neocons have always failed miserably on.

To me, you Neocons would rather bitch and moan about every minute detail of what this administration is doing rather than try and see the good that may come from it. Wouldn't it behoove people to encourage this administration rather than tear it apart? He's not going anywhere for 3 more years.

You know full well you are hoping and preaching fear mongering like brainwashed Rush puppets, in hopes he does fail. Never was there so much fear mongering during the Bush tenure.

Let's give it a year or two before you crucify him....Afterall, Conservatives gave Bush 6 years to turn what will become known as the first depression of the 21st century.

More Neo-Con lies

Arizona's 15th congressional district: 30 jobs saved or created, $761,420 in federal stimulus spending.

There is no 15th district. Arizona only has eight districts.

There's no 86th congressional district in Arizona either, but the government's recovery.gov Web site says $34 million in stimulus money has been spent there.

In fact, Recovery.gov lists hundreds of millions spent and hundreds of jobs created in congressional districts that don't exist.

Oklahoma: $19 million in spending, 15 jobs created, in congressional districts that don't exist.

Iowa: $10.6 million spent, 39 jobs created, in non-existent districts.

Connecticut: 42nd district, 25 jobs created with zero stimulus dollars, but the district does not exist.

The list of spending and job creation in fictional congressional districts extends to U.S. territories as well.

U.S. Virgin Islands: $68.3 million spent, and 72.2 million spent in the 1st congressional district of the U.S. Virgin Islands.

$8.4 million spent and 40.3 jobs created in the 99th congressional district of the U.S. Virgin Islands.

$1.5 million spent and .3 jobs created in the 69th district and $35 million for 142 jobs in the 99th district of the Northern Mariana Islands.

$47.7 million spent and 291 jobs created in Puerto Rico's 99th congressional district.

None of these districts exist.

They exist in the mind of the greatest Popularity Contest Winner of all time

While Massachusetts recipients of federal stimulus money collectively report 12,374 jobs saved or created, a Globe review shows that number is wildly exaggerated. Organizations that received stimulus money miscounted jobs, filed erroneous figures, or claimed jobs for work that has not yet started. [snip]

One of the largest reported jobs figures comes from Bridgewater State College, which is listed as using $77,181 in stimulus money for 160 full-time work-study jobs for students. But Bridgewater State spokesman Bryan Baldwin said the college made a mistake and the actual number of new jobs was “almost nothing.'' Bridgewater has submitted a correction, but it is not yet reflected in the report.

In other cases, federal money that recipients already receive annually - subsidies for affordable housing, for example - was reclassified this year as stimulus spending, and the existing jobs already supported by those programs were credited to stimulus spending. Some of these recipients said they did not even know the money they were getting was classified as stimulus funds until September, when federal officials told them they had to file reports.

“There were no jobs created. It was just shuffling around of the funds,’’ said Susan Kelly, director of property management for Boston Land Co., which reported retaining 26 jobs with $2.7 million in rental subsidies for its affordable housing developments in Waltham. “It’s hard to figure out if you did the paperwork right. We never asked for this.’’
