'Stimulus jobs overstated by thousands'

[Wallace]

by Brett J Blackledge - Matt Apuzzo The Associated Press
"The government's first accounting of jobs tied to the $787 billion stimulus program
claimed more than 30,000 positions paid for with recovery money. But that figure is
overstated by least 5,000 jobs, according to an Associated Press review of a sample
of stimulus contracts."

More than 131,000 progress reports on stimulus funding will be posted Friday on
recovery.gov, the government's stimulus-tracking Web site

Quote from morganist:

That's true ... it's been squandered, fucked-over and pocketed by the all of the same opportunistic, greedy selfish type of people that took the TARP money and ran!

I swear, this may very well be the stupidst administration we've seen in the past twenty years. :eek:

over 200 thousand dollars spend for every stimulus job

and we still have massive immigration/guest workers

borrowing from foreign nations, to create jobs at an extremely high cost, and giving them to foreigners is economic suicide
