Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., said during a Twitter townhall today that the 2009 stimulus bill has created clean "thousands" of green energy jobs. Reid also promised that President Obama's latest jobs proposal, criticized as yet another roung of stimulus, would create "hundreds of thousands of jobs" if Republicans would pass the legislation. Speaking to a staffer moderating the debate, Reid said that "the economic recovery act we passed, the stimulus bill, has done a lot of that." Reid reiterated the claim on a live tweet issued by his staff, which also tweeted that viewers can

He must be talking about the bag men required to deliver his cut.
Solyndra created jobs?
Next it will be “Millions and Billions of jobs!!!”
These idiots are on life support.
We know where the "jobs" AREN'T. In Nevada!
Solyndra is an example of O’bama’s “green jobs iniative”, no jobs and we get stuck with the bill.
He says this on the day they’re having hearings on Solyndra? I used to think they had a method to their madness’ but have come to the conclusion that they’re just plain stupid.
IF any jobs were created, I’ve no doubt they were overseas.
Heck yeah! All those bankruptcy attorneys.
Has Reid had a cerebral vascular accident?
Sommebody should swear that man in to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing butthe truth so help me Obama.

Thousands of TEMPORARY jobs, like most ill-considered stimulus plans.
Temporary jobs are not real jobs. They are payouts with funds borrowed from future economic activity. Occasionally they produce some things that contribute to the country’s productive capital (say, roads for sake of argument), but even then, they do it inefficiently (Davis-Bacon union wages, union and minority preferences).
With Solyndra, the fleeting benefit of employment was more rapid and the collapse of work more sudden and obvious than usual, but it’s the same idea—haste makes waste. And, Obama is in a big hurry to produce the appearance of increased economic activity for a narrow slice of time before November, 2012.

Reid: Stimulus created 1000s of green jobs (in China, Spain, Korea and Indonesia)
PATENT BULLSHIT...again.
By my calculations, which are just as valid as Reid's, the stimulous created exactly 9 jobs.
Where ever do the Democrats get these morons?
The only way this is true if it were in Base 2 (binary) instead of decimal. 1000 = 8 jobs created.
I caught that also, billions of dollars for thousand of jobs. What a deal!
