And a nonexistant stimulus, too.

Ludicrous is the name of a rapper! Messed up gov't over-sight, wasting money and making up districts, the number of states in our union and that sort of thing are par for the gov't!

Job creation is false. Many people were laid off and re-hired for less money at the same job in our city.At a major hospital/university.

Well as we learn Arizona has a new District, Disatict 15 where the stimulus created 30 jobs @ cost $761,420. One problem there is no District 15. Also the same holds true with Iowa, Oklahoma and Connecticut. These are lists put out on the web site Recovery.com. These inaccuracies on spending and job creations and fictional congressionl districts also extends to territories in the US as well.

Kinda sounds like deliberate mistakes to me.

Hey dummies, according to Pelosi, that $787 Billion was a recovery package, not a stimulus package. They have their pork set up for another "stimulus" package later this year.

I'm shocked

Progressive2 and AlanD,

This is why I dont want government healthcare. there is simply no proper incentive to do a good job.

I have said I will support a limited option if it is funded by premiums, just like the private sector and not funded by taxpayers. If it is funded by premiums then the price will reflect whether or not they do a good job and I am willing to let the best program win as long as they pay by the same rules.

it is idiotic that the most powerful executive on earth can't establish a means to collect accurate data ad post it on a non interactive website.

These errors aren't an indicator of the effect the recovery funds are having or the actual job creation efforts. They are, however, indicative of what naturally happens when humans are tasked with creating and maintaining a web-based data-base that tracks billions of dollars and millions of specific employment statistics. Humans make mistakes. But don't let a little common sense get in the way of your aggrandizing.

The people managing recovery.org had already begun to fix the mistakes before Rep. Obey starting shouting from the roof top. These are coding errors on a website data-base. That's all. What's ludicrous is that this will become a media frenzy and will be spun into how ineffectual the funds and job creation efforts have been. But hey, we gotta give the 24 hour news cycle something to talk about.

I have to ask, if the report says they created say 60 jobs in a non-existent district like District 15 in AZ (we only have 8), at a cost of say $700,000, where exactly is that money going???

I care less about the lies (sorry, errors) as far as counting jobs. I am concerned more with what they are using our money for. Clearly, they are supposed to account for all of the spending of our tax dollars.

In other words if there was $787 billion to start with, and there is now say $600 billion, they have to tell us where the other $187 billion went. If we got the truth on $100 billion, and lies (errors) on $87 billion, I want to know where that $87 billion went. Don't take my numbers as facts. They are only meant as a demo.

Is there anything about this administration that isn't amateur hour?

According to Recovery.gov...there were 5000 jobs created in Talladega, Alabama with $42K of stimulus... ahhhhh no matter how ya slice it, seems like 5000 people are getting paid $8.40 per person per year.

I like the calculations that save more jobs than there are people in the community. If it wasn't so pathetic it would be hilarious.

You have to be an utter fool to believe them when they suggest healthcare reform will be deficit neutral or that gov has a clue about how to control costs. All evidence proves otherwise.

Maybe the need Al Gore, who took the initiative in creating the information highway, to manage this site.............
