Jobs & Obfuscation
On September 10th, the White White House proclaimed 1 million jobs saved, created by stimulus bill.
On October 30th, the White House touted 650,000 Jobs created or saved by Obama's stimulus plan. It went on to say the economic stimulus plan had directly created or saved about 650,000 jobs … and it is on track to reach the president's goal of 3.5 million jobs by the end of next year.
Um, News Flash – we have LOST 3 MILLION JOBS.
Hello? Anybody home over there?
Case In Point:
$26,000 stimulus cash was given to a small town in Texas to put a new roof on a public housing project.
This is the part you have to pay attention to (take notes if you need to) — this $26,000 employed — temporarily employed — 5 roofers and one contractor. Six jobs temporarily created. These figures were reported to the Obama administration and they said, oh, no, you saved 450 jobs! They calculated HOURS and used that number for jobs. And that false number still stands despite several attemps by that Texas town to correct it. Six jobs. It was only SIX jobs! Hey, the WH wants that wrong number and one must wonder about the 650,000 figure. It it hours?
SIX TEMP JOBS becomes 450. Lies and obfuscation.
And that is only one story in the midst of thousands.
If we had a true and honest media, we would know about a lot more.
Talk about Fuzzy Math! I call it Outright Lies.
