Administration: Stimulus Creates Jobs in Non-Existent Congressional Districts

According to the Obama Administration, the expenditure of $61,000 in federal stimulus funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 created or saved 25 jobs in New Mexico’s 22nd Congressional District. You read that right: New Mexico’s Twenty-Second Congressional District. (We only have enough population for three congressional districts).

Federal stimulus dollars, according to the Obama Administration, as reported at www.recovery.gov, also created or saved 15.8 jobs in the 35th Congressional Distict (where $8.96 million in stimulus dollars were spent) and 2.7 jobs in NM 00 (which received $731.370).

Other fictional New Mexico Congressional Districts receiving stimulus money were NM 40 (no jobs for $7.96 million), NM 4 (10 jobs created/saved for $4.72 million), NM 13 (5 jobs created for $3.3 million), NM 16 (no jobs for $517,980), NM 9 (no jobs for $100,000), NM 6 (1 job created/saved for $63,199) and the 25th Congressional District that received a mere $6,819.

It’s all right here, the official word from the Obama Administration on the postive effects of nearly a trillion in stimulus spending it is reporting in the Land of Enchantment. Here’s the New Mexico summary page listing over $16 million of spending in New Mexico’s 35th and 40th Congressional Districts…kind of a tip off that something is really amiss. Click the “view all Congressional districts” at the bottom of the table listing five Congressional districts for New Mexico and you’ll be taken to the page listing jobs created/saved and money expended in the ten new Congressional districts for New Mexico created miraculously as the result of the stimulus spending.

This comes on the heels of our report this morning that the Obama Administration claims to have created or saved over 4,800 New Mexico jobs in the space of a few weeks.

The claimed efficacy of the Stimulus Bill has been questioned by the media several times in the past month. Numerous media studies have revealed a reporting system riddled with errors and results that are “impossible” to calculate, such as the number of jobs “saved” by the bill.

Vice President Joe Biden admitted that the administration’s statistics were flawed after an Associated Press study revealed several instances of exaggerated and outright false job creation. The vice president went on to pledge that “further updates and corrections are going to be needed.” A timetable for such corrections has not yet been established.

Redistribution into the hands of frauds and criminals? Making up districts and saying jobs were "saved and created" in them?

The District numbers reported do not exist, but the Districts themselves do exist. The applicants misreported their District number. Sloppy application preparation.

Do you seriously think an applicant that was receiving $10 million dollars would be so sloppy in their paperwork as to not get their number correct?

That is a weak excuse to write off money that hasn't been received.

A more likely scenario is that the admin is lying about the "jobs saved or created" numbers in an effort to make the stimulus look worthwhile while the unaccounted for cash is going elsewhere.

That be a tin foil hat scenario sure. The admin didn't have anything to do with the numbers. Looks like they're self reported.

Where is the information from that you are relying on to make these statements?



And whose job is it to make sure all the info on the forms is correct before they cut a check or accept the statistics of "jobs saved or created" as the truth before using it to pad their inflated numbers of the effectiveness of the stimulus?



Job Creation: A Massive Stimulus Fraud

Stimulus jobs were also reported in 35 congressional districts in Washington, D.C., and four U.S. territories. The problem: None of those jurisdictions even has congressional districts.

The government's response to all this? "Human beings make mistakes," shrugged Recovery Board spokesman Ed Pound on Monday. But by Tuesday, as the furor grew, the board's DeSeve was vowing to go through reports with a "fine-tooth comb."

But this should have been done all along. The official Web site vows that stimulus spending will "be subject to unprecedented transparency and accountability," and that inspectors general of 28 federal agencies will "continually review" their spending.

As the White House talks about another stimulus, Americans need to know that the promises of transparency and openness in the first program haven't been kept. And that billions of their tax dollars are being wasted.

The money has to be somewhere, perhaps an investigation will find out where.

Lawmakers Slam Administration for Faulty Job Data on Government Web Site

The Democratic chairman of the House Appropriations Committee is demanding greater accountability from the the Obama administration after gross inaccuracies were found on a government Web site that tracks jobs purportedly saved or created by the $787 billion stimulus plan.

In an interview with Fox News on Tuesday, Obey called the inaccuracies on Recovery.gov "infuriating" and said the success of the government's stimulus package has been "obscured by the silly mistakes."

Recovery.gov is under fire for posting a number of jobs created in congressional districts that don't exist and for accepting unrealistic data from several reporting outlets.

"When you cite the jobs created in congressional districts that don't exist, I think that strikes anyone from the White House on down as being more than stupid," Obey said.

It's a massive Rip-Off

Actually it would be really cool if they accurately
reported this, how funny would it be if across the
board they had to admit to Negative numbers
for this pogrom (sic)

Then we could move on to who actually stole the funds and what they did with it?
