Shocker: Based Just on Limited Media Evaluations Conducted So Far, At Least 10 Percent of "Saved or Created" Stimulus Jobs Are Simply Made-up and Fictitious Bonus: Jobs Being "Created" In Congressional Districts That Themsleves Don't Exist, Either

Shocker: Based Just on Limited Media Evaluations Conducted So Far, At Least 10 Percent of "Saved or Created" Stimulus Jobs Are Simply Made-up and Fictitious
Bonus: Jobs Being "Created" In Congressional Districts That Themsleves Don't Exist, Either

And, again, that's only so far. The media is looking into this, tepidly, but only in scattered reports.

Bear that in mind: These are just the "jobs saved, created, or fabricated" that the media has found thus far in 11 specific, limited analyses.

My favorite? A shoemaker receiving under a thousand bucks of "stimulus" money claimed he'd put that $900 into creating nine jobs.

Talk about bang for the buck!

His actual record? He sold nine pairs of shoes to the military.

Well, I guess making each one of them was a "job," if you define it that way. But then -- why not 18 jobs? Why be stingy when you're makin' shit up?

A San Diego tv station, meanwhile, finds only one job in the entire city "created" by stimulus money.

If We're Making Up the Jobs, Why Not Make Up the Locations of Them, Too? This stupid douchebag.

Here's a stimulus success story: In Arizona's 9th Congressional District, 30 jobs have been saved or created with just $761,420 in federal stimulus spending. At least that's what the website set up by the Obama Administration to track the $787 billion stimulus says.
There's no 86th Congressional District in Arizona either, but the government's recovery.gov Web site says $34 million in stimulus money has been spent there.
In Oklahoma, for example, the site lists more than $19 million in spending -- and 15 jobs created -- on Congressional districts that don't exist. In Iowa, it shows $10.6 million spent – and 39 jobs created -- in non-existent districts.
In Connecticut's 42nd District (which also does not exist), the website claims 25 jobs created with zero stimulus dollars.
The list of spending and job creation in fictional Congressional Districts extends to U.S. territories as well.
$68.3 million spent and 72.2 million spent in the 1st Congressional District of the U.S. Virgin Islands.
$8.4 million spent and 40.3 jobs created in the 99th Congressional District of the U.S. Virgin Islands.
$1.5 million spent and .3 jobs created in the 69th district and $35 million for 142 jobs in the 99th district of the Northern Mariana Islands.
$47.7 million spent and 291 jobs created in Puerto Rico's 99th Congressional District.

Obama's creating jobs like wildfire in those "bonus seven states" he once alluded to.

20 I liked the story someone linked to the other day about a "factory" that had been credited with saving 900 jobs by the Won.

The total workforce was less than a 100 people in the factory.

I figure 10% is very low ball. I would bet the number is closer to 100% made up BS.

Posted by: Vic at November 16, 2009 04:08 PM (CDUiN)

21 Ten-plus percent are fictitious? The whole concept is fictitious. If the narrative comes out that ten or so percent were not real gains, then the understated counterpoint is that ninety percent or so were real gains. Guess which narrative will gain traction or at least be sold from the beltway bubble?

Don't fall for the trap. One hundred percent of the calculation is fraudulent. There's no advantage to parsing that point any further with alternate facts. It remains a metric that has never been used before and should never be used again. A political contrivance that has absolutely no merit. Any deviation from that essential point dilutes the main message/story.

Remember: For every job saved or created by government money, at least one has to be destroyed or destroyed when the government takes that money in the first place. If government stimulus actually created anything, then it would be the Soviet Union that would be successful and we here in free market land who would have failed.

30 The Government does not produce. It only eats. And the bigger it gets, the more it eats. In the last extremity, the only food is...itself. The last act of a failing government is to feed on its own body -- in other words, excessive taxation in place of gowing the economy. That way leads to sure and certain death for the polity: either from internal collapse or from outside invasion (or both).

94 p.s., idiot: there's no private investment. That's why we're in a recession.

Maybe there's no private investment because the supply of money has been sucked up by the federal government?

Maybe there's no private investment because federal regulation and taxation, and the uncertainty of being able to keep your private property, has removed the profit incentive to a great enough degree that investors decide to, well, not invest?

There's no 86th Congressional District in Arizona either, but the government's recovery.gov Web site says $34 million in stimulus money has been spent there.

I'm sure the web site was created/thought of/imagined during the Bush Administration.

112 genius ace

This is cool. I'm going to refer to "ace" as "genius ace" from here on out. I might even tattoo it onto his forehead when he collapses into a drunken stupor one night.

People like "rhetorical hyperbole" always think that there is a "we" and a "they" were government is concerned. "They" (being the big-G Government) can extract "we" (being us poor plebs) from all kinds of jams just by reaching into the magical money-jar. Well, the problem is that "we" are "they". The economy is just people doing stuff; it's not a magical money-printing engine. And the Government makes no money, as I've said earlier; it only eats. It takes money from productive people to use for various and sundry purposes -- some useful and necessary, but many not. Productive people, in this scenario, are actually penalized for being useful -- their hard-earned money goes into the all-consuming maw of Uncle Sugar (it's the old "Atlas Shrugged" thing). So what's the point in continuing to strive if Uncle Sugar is just going to take the fruits of your labor away from you? The economy sputters and fails because of a spendthrift government, not because of a recalcitrant private sector.

88 You have a public forum here, ace. I provide the necessary dialectical tension. I don't understand why you just want to speak to people who agree with you.

They just want to hear the same people in their own echo chamber. People that rant about "tax cuts", "free markets", and pro-military jargon. All stuff that ruined our country in the past 8 years. These are the people that wear flag pins, call Democrats hippies or commies, and have pro-life or NRA stickers on their cars. They are not tolerant of any other opinion other than their own. They do not even hear them if they can help it. They will not expose themselves to the truth. Not like us on the left. We spent the last 8 years under a tyrannical regime while a president bush ruined our great land. Now is the time for these idiots to shut up, sit down, and let others fix the mess they created.

Sorry to be O/T, but Gov. Paterson is also expressing dismay with the decision to give KSM et al. trials in NY civillian courts. From NY Daily News:

Gov. Paterson on Monday joined the chorus of critics questioning the government’s plan to try Kalid Shaikh Mohammed and four other accused 9/11 terrorists in New York.

“This is not a decision that I would have made,” the governor said when asked about the upcoming federal trial of KSM and his four underlings.

“Our country was attacked on its own soil on Sept. 11, 2001, and New York was very much the epicenter of that attack,” Paterson said after an appearance at a groundbreaking ceremony for a new CUNY campus in East Harlem.

“Over 2,700 lives were lost,” he went on. “It’s very painful; we’re still having trouble getting over it. We still haven’t been able to rebuild that site, and having those terrorists tried so close to the attack is going to be an encumbrance on all of New Yorkers.”

The first kid said, 'I... want to go to Disney World & Obama said, 'No problem, I'll take you there on Air Force One.'
The second kid said, 'I want a new pair of Nike Air Jordan shoes. Obama said,
'I'll get them for you and even have Michael Jordan sign them.'
The third kid said, ' I want a motorized wheelchair with a built in TV and
stereo headset.' Obama was a little perplexed by this and said, 'But you don't
look like you're handicapped.'
The kid said, 'I will be after my dad finds out I saved your ass from drowning.'

181 A shoemaker receiving under a thousand bucks of "stimulus" money claimed he'd put that $900 into creating nine jobs.

Talk about bang for the buck!

His actual record? He sold nine pairs of shoes to the military.

Impressive.

Most Impressive.

188 Hmmm. I'm going to be in Colorado at Christmas time. I hope that if ERG looses that cushy job by then, that he'll at least be at one of the street corners washin windows and stuff. That salty slush can be a real problem for passing conservatives with jobs and stuff.

In fact I'm going to pretend that the next homeless guy with a washin gig is ol ERG, and tip him a whole 50 cents.

192 Mississippi has 4 guys serving in the House of Representatives. But somehow, according to Recovery.gov, there are a lot of unrepresented people. The 28th Congressional District of Mississippi got over $3 million in stimulus money but didn't create any jobs. Madison County, where I live, got over $7 million, but created only 7 jobs. We also have a 00th Congressional District in Mississippi. My hubby is going to run for that seat in 2010.

Gotta disagree with Allah on this stuff hurting Boxer's chances for re-election.

She could get caught beating a disabled child to death with a baby seal - while smoking a cigarette - and still get re-elected in California.

I prefer to look at Boxer's Senate presence as "subtraction by addition" for her party.

201 The shoemaker story highlights the asininity of the govt, not of the shoemaker. I don't think he was trying to pull one over anyone. The form he had to fill out asked him how many jobs he saved, and he had no idea what to put -- and the form (the Internet form) forced him to put a number, so he blindly put nine. Heck, "nine people couldn't do their jobs without my shoes." Really, there was no good number to pick.
