Obama slashes 60,000 jobs From recent stimulus report
As more and more evidence of the lying of this administration comes out on the amount of jobs “saved” or “created” with the nearly $800 billion porkulus, most recently the Detroit Free Press story in which they claim virtual no jobs at all have been saved or created in the state of Michigan, Obama slashed over 60,000 jobs from its most recent report on the program because the reporting outlets had submitted “unrealistic data,” according to a document obtained by ABC News. Yes folks, as amazing as it may seem, ABC is actually doing journalism!
The Office of Management and Budget document shows that before an Oct. 30 progress report on the program the administration asked the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board to remove information from 12 stimulus recipients that contained “unrealistic data,” including “unrealistic job data.” (Read the document here.)
One recipient – Talladega County of Alabama – claimed that 5,000 jobs had been saved or created from only $42,000 in stimulus funds.
