More Stimulus Math: Cooking the Books on Stimulus Jobs
Updated 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Source: http://biggovernment.com/
Earlier this year the federal government sent $3 billion tax dollars to the state of Illinois to provide financial support for education as part of the American Recovery and Investment Act of 2009, a.k.a. “the stimulus,”. Not for building schools, mind you. There is money for that elsewhere in the $787 billion spend-a-thon. This is for good old-fashioned reading, writing and arithmetic. Of course, there are many reasons this is antithetical to the temporary economic jump-start concept behind ...

The guy who ran Fannie is Franklin Raines and he walked away with a $90M bonus. Notice how Obumble isn't going after him to get the money back? I'm sure Raines will make a nice sizeable donation to Obumble's reelection campaign, funds which inexplicably never seem to be accounted for. BTW, Raines was rewarded for his disastrous stewardship of Fannie by being put in charge of TARP by ... See all content

The entire "recession" (from 9/08 on) might have been orchestrated to give Obama the win. In Sept. '08, he was losing by 3 points. This was to be the Dems' October surprise, but was done a month early because they panicked when Palin came on board. So they had to demonize her and then do the run on the banks in mid-Sept. within 3 hours (probably conducted by Soros and a few of his ... See all content

Perpetrated recession. Perpetrated. You don't give undocumented immigrant housekeepers in East LA 'cash out,' 'no money down' and 'interest only' loans for a grossly overpriced shack in the barrio. Where is Jamie Gorelick anyway? She seems to disappear right before the implosions take place. A coincidence? Think not.

Let it be known that the bulk of the stimulus spent so far has gone to those who supported Obama. Period. The rest of the nation has been left to fend for itself while Obama's "friends" are rewarded for their loyalty. The "Stimulus" was supposed to CREATE jobs, not just save jobs.

In the end they just make things up and hope the MSM will continue to cover for them, B-Daddy is our involuntary pimp and as usual not only are we getting screwed by his friends, but it turns out were paying for it as well.

Another point, if you buy the "Saved" jobs argument then by their own accounting these jobs are 99% government jobs. Government jobs are non self sustaining, they require continued tax dollars to exist, so if the argument is that the stimulus is a "Temporary Revenue" for the government then the jobs themselves are "Temporary" if you buy there numbers cost is x2 versus ...

Your right of course, they will play it the best way they can, NY 23 was the race they working to win, of course if it had gone the other way it would be irrelevant, the left has always played "Heads you lose, Tails I win" I suspect though that the economy will continue to falter or stay flat right through 2010, the danger is ironically that Obama starts becoming fiscally conservative, or ...

They can run the math anyway they like but it won't change the laws of physics (or any other natural law for that matter). If a job is created with stimulus money then it is NOT a bellwether for economic growth. It just means that the rightful owner of the funds (i.e.- taxpayer that had his money confiscated) did not get to choose where to invest the cash. As such, the stimulus job is not sustainable ...

If Obama had exercised common sense his union buddies, the true beneficiaries of the stimulus money, would have been left standing. the infrastructure money went only to union shops, more went to the pension funds of the unions, the money to education went to the teachers union, do you see a pattern here?

Everyone with an ounce of intelligence knows that the "stimulus" bill was nothing but a pay-out to special interests. We could have created 6 million jobs for $150 billion simply by giving a $25,000 tax credit to any business who wanted to hire people and kept them employed for a year. We'd have seen an immediate jobs recover the like of which the country has never seen. We'd have ... See all content

Hmm, do you think anyone in the MSM might have the guts and integrity to report this? I doubt it. You'll have to tune into FOX for the only honest news these days. But what would you expect? More BS from an administration that lied all the way to the White House. 2012 won't get here soon enough!

More Stimulus Math? It simply hearkens back to the 2000 Election. Anyone remember the illustrious Mr. Gore, with his "Fuzzy Math" and his "Lock Box"? When it comes to Government numbers, there is only ONE guarantee: It all boils down to a mathematical equation. Figures lie, and liars figure. Saved jobs? "And in a feat that Doug Henning would appreciate the state reported that ... See all content
They had to lie to come up with 650,000 jobs? They do need to expand special education classes at the White House. Obama, Axlerod, and Rahm need to sit in the front row. Biden can sit in the back row with his blankey.

You will find this kind of outright lying & deception all over the country. This administration has one set of goals in mind & they will do anything to make it possible. They are in the business of attack politics & I think they believe the American people can't even tie their shoes.

To use false numbers to tout what any idiot can plainly see is dumb and short-sighted. There will eventually be a recovery. It will be impossible to tell if any government program helped or hindered it, and Obama and the rest of the privileged incumbency will take credit for it anyway. No one wants to be in the position of rooting against economic prosperity. But we all know that in election time, ... See all content

It's on purpose, the entire Obama campaign was one continuous lie — A shuck and jive act, hoodwinking and bamboozling the America people. If they do this in Red China why not in America?
Honesty from our elected representatives has long ago died. We need change.
