Our household income is down about 50%. Does that count as half a saved job or half a lost job? I’m confused.
I think the saved jobs figure equals the number of government employees!!!
Well, it varies.
In the beginning, here's how it works: Obama wants to give $20 million of OUR money to the city of Cincinnati to buy votes. Rahm calls da mayor and asks: "How many cops can you publicly threaten to lay off?". Da mayor goes public with his budget whining and says he'll layoff 50 cops. Team Obama flies in, showering $$$ in their path and --- voila! --- FIFTY "saved" jobs!
But that's too cumbersome, so in the second round, they simply skip the call to the mayor. They just start shoveling money out to states/cities/community organizations, who use it to fund their bloated payrolls. Much easier....and LOTS more jobs "saved"!!!!
But even that is more work than they like. So, in the final round, they decide to simply make up the numbers...and reporters will meekly discover there's nothing to investigate, because there's no record whatsoever (made up numbers don't leave a trail). Oh, and don't forget that ANY public employee ANYWHERE that gets stimulus money---if he gets a raise...yep, saved job!
THAT is what a "saved" job is.
Everyone except the nutty MSM knows this BS is a lie, like everything else that comes out of this Administration’s mouth.
I heard one in the administration on the radio the other day using the this; “extraordinarily successful stimulus package” to desibe how the stimulus worked. I could of barfed right then and there.
Wow!
I better send a letter or email to the staff I laid off in 2009, letting them know that Obambi ‘saved’ their jobs!
They’ll be SO relieved!!
(NO, I am NOT rehiring ANY staff this year!)
“And yet, a sizeable percentage of the American public will read this and nod their clueless heads in agreement”.
I actually encountered one of those fools a few weeks ago. He told me, in no uncertain terms, that The Big Zero “made it clear that it would take all of 2010 before things turn around”. i.e. this idiot was happy to wait on his Messiah’s results because his Messiah had told him so, and all of us should stand by and wait too because the Messiah knows all.
Gag.
