Main Stream Media Reports On Stimulus Package
Even They Can’t Believe The Obama Jobs Lies
Elitist progressive Barack Hussein Obama and his minions have tried to tell America that the stimulus package has saved or created hundreds of thousands if not millions of jobs. Now even the elitist progressive main stream media that normally lies for Obama can’t believe the garbage figures coming from Obama and his administration.
An early progress report on President Barack Obama's economic recovery plan overstates by thousands the number of jobs created or saved through the stimulus program, a mistake that White House officials promise will be corrected in future reports. A mistake? Remember when Biden said, "If we get this wrong, I'm dead."
The main stream media has this to say with the White House’s original figures, "No, it's not 30,000, it may be 10,000." Now EVEN Obama’s main stream media is giving us information showing Obama keeps on lying.
The government's first accounting of jobs tied to the $787 billion stimulus program claimed more than 30,000 positions paid for with recovery money. But that figure is overstated by least 5,000 jobs, or one in six, according to an Associated Press review of a sample of stimulus contracts. ... A company working with the Federal Communications Commission reported that stimulus money paid for 4,231 jobs, when about 1,000 were produced.
Chip Reid, the chief White House correspondent said the following on CBS Evening News:
“At a small college in Georgia, $100,000 in stimulus funds paid for trucks for students to practice for commercial driver's licenses. Another hundred thousand went for a modular classroom. The school reported to the government that 280 jobs were created. In reality, not even close. In Cocoa, Florida, a child care center reported 129 jobs created by a stimulus grant. In fact, no jobs were created. It turns out the administration's initial jobs stimulus report contained hundreds of errors as first reported by the Associated Press. Critics say if the kinds of errors found in that earlier report are repeated in Friday's much more extensive job creation survey it won't be worth the paper it's printed on.”
“The White House says the errors have already been corrected, that tomorrow's jobs report has been double and triple checked for weeks and that it will give an accurate detailed look at the early success of the stimulus. Republicans in Congress, though, predict the report will be a world-class example of government obfuscation. Republican critics also say they don't understand how some stimulus projects will create any jobs. For example, half a million dollars to study social networks like Facebook and $219,000 to study the sex lives of female college freshmen.”
CBS' Harry Smith asked Biden's chief economic advisor, Jared Bernstein "These numbers, if you can excuse the expression, are these numbers we can believe in?"
Jared Bernstein answered, "Absolutely. The numbers that the Independent Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board is going to be releasing later today are the results, Harry, of tens of thousands of recipients of Recovery Act funds telling us precisely the jobs they've saved or created with those funds. And those jobs accumulate to 650,000 jobs saved or created thus far. And, remember, that's a subset about half of the Recovery Act dollars put to work thus far. So a million jobs saved or created thus far when you extrapolate from the recipient reports."
Harry Smith: "The other part of this problem, though, is that we're looking at an unemployment rate that's going to probably hit 10% soon and may stay there for a very long time. Average amount of time it takes right now for somebody unemployed to get a new job's half a year. When does this economy start to make a difference to these people who are starting to become chronically unemployed?"
Jared Bernstein: The Recovery Act is part of the answer to your question. By helping to create or save about a million jobs so far, including the 650,000 that recipients themselves are telling us about, and these are schoolteachers --
Harry Smith: We know.
Jared Bernstein: -- these are construction workers, these are cops on the beat, these jobs are helping to at least partially offset part of the losses you mentioned earlier.
Harry Smith: When does this economy start to create jobs on its own?
Jared Bernstein: As far as the overall economy is concerned, private sector forecasters tell us that by the second half of next year, net job growth should be positive, unemployment should be coming down.
Harry Smith: It's a long wait.
America even the in the bag for Obama elitist progressive main stream media is challenging Obama’s lies on the stimulus package and what it has done for or to the economy. The stimulus package was never meant to help the economy. Obama and the Democrats want to destroy America’s economy. That would help them gain control of you.
