Not all jobs 'saved' by stimulus were in danger

The Obama administration announced Friday that federal stimulus money had created or saved about 7,200 education jobs in Ohio as of Sept. 30.

Although a couple of hundred of those jobs were in Columbus City Schools, the district acknowledged yesterday that many of the "saved" jobs definitely wouldn't have been lost in the first place, and others might not have been lost at all.

Although other areas of the district's budget might have suffered without the stimulus, district officials said, the jobs report nonetheless highlighted the fuzzy math involved in pinpointing a saved-jobs number.

By January, the 0bama administration will claim that Porkulus "created or saved" 56,658,209.66 jobs.

This is a simple calculation. For example:

Number of jobs in the US 150,000,000
10% unemployment: 15,000,000

Number of jobs saved by stimulus:
150,000,000 - 15,000,000 = 135,000,000

435 Congresscritters and 100 US Senators, along with a thousand White House staffers who keep TOTUS running want to count their jobs as “created or saved” by the stimulus-pork bill.

All 138 million people with jobs only have them through Obama's will. If he should turn his back upon America there will be no jobs at all. < If you couldn't tell that was sarcasm you need professional help>

Number of jobs saved by stimulus:
150,000,000 - 15,000,000 = 135,000,000

Washington is only concerned with a “core” 536 jobs. They are always the jobs needing protection.
