Inspector General’s Memo: Census Says It Hired More Workers Than It Needed As a ‘Cost-Saving Measure’

[GeronL]

hahahahaha

government is stupid

[DoughtyOne]

All I want to know, is when is the word fraud going to be used in conjunction with this lying Inspector General Junior?

My thirteen year old kids were better lairs than Obabi's appointees are.

I feel like I'm back in grade school

They just factored in attrition, arrests and spoilage in the crop of workers.

A friend of mine who was hired by the census tells me this:

“That was me - while they were telling us there was no work for us, they were continuing to train more people.”

[ProtectOurFreedom]

“Hey Boss! I need to hire 10 more guys to save us lots of money”

Go ahead. Give it a try.

Yes, and how would Omama be able to say that they had created more jobs if they don’t overhire. This is another one of the “smoke and mirrors” government “jobs programs”. Wasteful won’t even touch the surface.

Either the Post Office got really really bad at its job when it came those forms that were mailed back, or they were intentionally “misplaced” once they reached their destination.

The little old lady that came to my house(after I’d sent the form in on time), said she had lots of people in her area that say they mailed them. She just said “the Post Office musta lost ‘em”

...as a “cost-saving measure” ...

That's community organizer lingo for "I won".

[Ann Archy]

AS a COST SAVINGS?????????? OMG!!

[KC Burke]

133% of what it takes in people to man and run the entire United States Navy.

The Regime has been using the Census to jiggle the unemployment numbers for months, and now we are finally getting the proof. There are other reports out this week where census “enumerators” were paid for 40 hours of training, then actually worked 5-6 hours before being laid off, and then once they were re-hired a couple of weeks later, they were counted as a “new hire”.

Stuart Varney interviewed that condescending Christina Romer about this on FBN first thing this morning, and she kept trying to spin this all as good news. She’s so far out of touch on this she might as well be speaking Klingon...

[Cicero]

there turned out to be one Census enumerator for every seven homeless people counted

Government efficiency.

[Cincinna]

They are being paid $27.50/hour gross. Net is around $20/hr.

What is wrong with this picture?

[bamabound]

I ran this headline past my 15 year old and she didn't hesitate a bit when she said “That's stupid!”

Hey, don’t blame the Census Bureau (which is under the direction of the White House, remember?). They’re just doing whatever they can to give -17nobama some good employment numbers.
