Cannot post article due to rules.
Here is MY summary:
Texas man gets $26,174 to fix roof and fence at his apartment building. Government claims 450 jobs saved.
Police department in Plymouth Conn receives $15,355 for new computers. Government claims 108 jobs saved at this department of 22 cops.
Southwest Georgia Community Action Council- recieves $1.3 million. Government claims 935 jobs saved (out of only 500 employees!) In reality, they used the money for a pay raise.
Teach For America- received $2 million to help fund salaries for their 125 employees. Government claims 1425 jobs created or saved.

So not only are they taxpater funded jobs which are a net economic loss, they aren’t even real jobs done by real people.
Obama Math made easy.
Porkulus Ping.
I read of one person who applied for the magic money and were refused until they made up a number of jobs saved or created.
The thing about these children in the White House, they aren’t even clever.
I still think he should take a lesson in Clintonspeak and call them a “projected jobs surplus”.
For every job created by this money you have 10 jobs created as official job creation counters.
The only thing the children in the white house has is a media too loyal to tell the truth and a congress to greedy to speak up.
If the GOP ever regains control, there damned well better be trials, convictions and prison sentences over this ponzi scheme that makes the Madoff scandal look like child’s play.
Teach For America- received $2 million to help fund salaries for their 125 employees. Government claims 1425 jobs created or saved.””
What’s wrong with that math??? Just jam a “4” in the middle of 125 employees,
and ya got your number of jobs saved ............ 1425.!!!
What’s could be simpler?
What newspaper picked up on this?
See, it’s not fuzzy at all ———— it’s just Obama and his beautiful cronies at work, savin’ jobs !!!!!!!!!!!
Man, some people, all they ever do is complain.
Just submit.
I read one that said you cannot answer zero for how many jobs were saved or created.
The stimulus also prevented two major earthquakes, one hurricane and an invasion by aliens.
LOL. What a joke. Good to see someone did some actual fact-checking.
lulz, “fuzzy math.”
All these caricatures are emblematic/exemplify strands of pilitical correctness and are inherently dubious. Truth is that whether it is purposeful manipulation of numbers, misleading numbers, “fuzzy math”, etc., the point is the White House is lying and decieving the general public on job creation being we all that there arguably is no such thing as a “saved” job.
Your great grand kids great grand kids tax dollars at work.
The White House employed ACORN people to count.
Including SEIU to boot. ;-)
Wouldn't you think that any president with any pride would hide from those kind of statistics??
Such BS we have to deal with....
.....................Texas man gets $26,174 to fix roof and fence at his apartment building. Government claims 450 jobs saved........................
So here’s this guy who reported accurately that he used 6 workers, but then resubmitted his report that he used 450 hours.
Everyone is wrong!
He didn’t use 450 men!
He didn’t use 6 workers!
He employed 450 hours out of an annual 2000 hours per worker, so he used about 1/5th of one worker!
