Exclusive: Jobs 'Saved or Created' in Congressional Districts that Don't Exist
ABCNews. ^ | November 16, 2009 | Jonathan Karl

Here's a stimulus success story: In Arizona's 15th congressional district, 30 jobs have been saved or created with just $761,420 in federal stimulus spending. At least that's what the Web site set up by the Obama administration to track the $787 billion stimulus says.

These are State districts, I think, and Arizona has 30.

I actually think that this is a huge scandal and it is not even being reported.

Can you imagine if the Bush White House deliberately manipulated government data to support their policy agenda.

This is outrageous.

Before any of you get any ideas, I have declared my candidacy in Virginia's 29th Congressional District.

Virginia 29th. It's not an age, it's a District.

the question is

did the Govt do this on purpose?
Yes I think they did

IF true then it shows the arrogance and fraud this white house is doing.

Then where did the money go?

Someone somewhere has to know where million maybe billions went to.

Was it sneaked into SEIU, ACORN ?
Did they try and manipulate the markets?
Yes I think so again

Either way this needs looking into and this is a massive corruption and fraud so I am sure our media will be reporting this for some time to come

I will not hold my breath though.

The Sunday Detroit Free Press ran an article about results of Michigan’s stimulus. The author of the article, Todd Spangler, concluded, “3 of every 4 stimulus grants, contracts and loans approved in MI created or retained one job or less; less than 700 awards had received some money, and nearly half of those -327- had created one job or less, at a cost per job of $2.7 million.

Wow! without that stimulus program we would probably be somewhere around 80% unemployment.
