Your Stolen Tax Dollars Hard At Work

So what if you cannot afford the presents for your children. So what if you lost your job and can't even put food on the table. So what if you can't pay your bills.

Your STOLEN Tax Dollars Hard At Work

 

Mark PennAlmost $6 million in federal stimulus funds was given to two firms run by Hillary Clinton's former presidential campaign strategist, The Hill newspaper reported Wednesday. He needed SIX MILLION to save 3 jobs. Huh?

Yup, you read that correctly. Mark Penn, who worked as Clinton's pollster during her 2008 presidential run, got $5.97 million from the $787 billion stimulus package so he could preserve three jobs at his public relations firm, Burson-Marsteller.

None of them care about us. Not Obama, not Clinton. They just want more money to play their games.

Republicans have blasted the use of federal stimulus dollars, claiming the money has gone to many projects that have little or nothing to do with job creation. Or more like an excuse. I mean, who needs 6 million for three jobs? It is just WRONG.

Senators John McCain, R-Ariz., and Tom Coburn, R-Okla., held a news conference Tuesday in which they released a report criticizing 100 projects paid for by the stimulus package that they claim wasted $7 billion.

At least there are two – out of how many on Capitol Hill? — who are working for us.

Obama Stimulus Jobs Claims ‘Wildly Exaggerated’
gryffn

So the Boston Globe wrote today:

The $4 billion in federal stimulus money sent to Massachusetts so far and found that the 12,374 jobs reportedly saved or created in the state to be  "wildly exaggerated."

Our money IN: to state agencies, universities, hospitals, businesses and nonprofit organizations.
The lies come OUT:  In some cases, organizations and businesses "miscounted jobs, filed erroneous figures, or claimed jobs for work that has not yet started." In other instances, no jobs at all were created.

The paper writes that in interviews with recipients, "several openly acknowledged creating far fewer jobs than they have been credited for."

Like these:

One of the largest reported jobs figures comes from Bridgewater State College, namely 160 full-time work-study jobs for students (in exchange for $77+k).  Backpedaling now, it admits the actual number of new jobs was "almost nothing.'' Bridgewater has submitted a correction, but it is not yet reflected in the report. — That is the M.O. of the Obama admin.

"There were no jobs created. It was just shuffling around of the funds,'' said Susan Kelly, director of property management for Boston Land Co., which reported retaining 26 jobs with $2.7 million in rental subsidies for its affordable housing developments in Waltham. "It's hard to figure out if you did the paperwork right. We never asked for this.''

No jobs created or saved – just a bunch of bull.

Economy ‘Saved’ and Unemployment Rises
gryffn

Obama-MarxismSound the horns.
Beat the drums.
Obama has saved the Economy.

Unemployment is at 10.2%. Is that a good thing?

16 million jobless Americans, and another 138 million others working harder to earn their paychecks.

Obama said it would not go over 8% — if we passed all that Stimulus crap. Rush, rush, rush, gotta do it today, today, today — and more than 80% of it is still not spent. So why the rush?

To give him the government control over the businesses he wanted.

It's the Marxist Way, you know.

The economy lost 190,000 jobs in October, the 22nd consecutive monthly decline and the longest losing streak on record dating back 70 years.

California's unemployment rate was 12.2 percent in September and increasing.

In San Francisco, PG&E said Friday that it is cutting 500 jobs, 2.4 percent of its 21,000-person workforce, most of them management positions. About three-quarters of the cuts will occur in the Bay Area in what a spokesman said was the utility's first layoffs since the recession began.

And Obama says it is over? He has saved us all?

"Obama's anti-capitalist, Big Government, command-and-control economic vision exceeds mere "childishness." It is dangerous. After 100-plus days, the jury reached its verdict.

Obama is a neo-Marxist. [Larry Elder]

Jobs & Obfuscation
gryffn

no jobsOn 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.
