GAO Says More Than 50,000 jobs claimed to have been “saved or created” by stimulus have Spent NO money

abcNow thats what I call an efficient stimulus! “Saving or creating” 50,000 jobs without spending a time of the $787 billion porkulus. Problem is, thats impossible and the GAO (Government Accountability Office) has yet again expose the BS that is Obama/Biden and the rest of the idiots claiming how successful the so called stimulus has been. There’s been reports of 1 job created in San Diego, ZERO jobs saved or created in Michigan, and fake numbers thrown out else where. There’s even been claims by the Recovery.gov’s website that 30 jobs were created in Arizona’s 15th district. The problem with that is, Arizona only has a total of 8 districts. Maybe ACORN is counting dead people again, or Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck and sending these stats to Obama and the White House. ABC after trying to make Sarah Palin look bad by doing extreme closeups on her during her interview with Barbara Walters is actually doing some reporting for a change. According to them, more than 50,000 jobs, or one out of every 10 jobs the White House says were “saved or created” by their economic stimulus plan, came from projects that reported spending no money yet, according to a government report obtained by ABC News.

Recovery.gov tracks where the stimulus money goes, but who tracks Recovery.gov?

The report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) analyzes the Administration’s October 2009 report on jobs saved or created by the $787 billion stimulus program and finds a “range of significant reporting and processing problems that need to be addressed.”

Even with the errors, GAO gives the Obama Administration high marks for its efforts at transparency and in making so much information public in such a short period of time.

“Given the national scale of the recipient reporting exercise and the limited time frames in which it was implemented,” the report says, “[recovery.gov] represents a solid first step in moving toward more transparency and accountability for federal funds.”
