My tax dollars at work. Lovely. The money isn’t even going for real jobs or businesses.
These unrealistic claims about “saved jobs” are no consolation to the 17% of Americans who are permanently out of work as a result of BO Plenty’s failed stimulus spending. If GWB had 17% out of work there would have been an orchestrated outcry for his impeachment by the left and their many friends in the media.
Another of the “Big Lies” from BO Plenty that more and more Americans are able to see that he won’t be satisfied until we have at least 25% permanently unemployed - not seen since the Great Depression of FDR.
I’ve got a friend who works for a non-profit that was offered stimulus money. She had to fill out a form to get the money. She claimed one job would be saved. It was a budgeted position that hadn’t been filled for years. She has no intention of hiring anyone. But hey, the position still exists on the org chart. So 1 job saved.
