D.C. has no count of jobs from stimulus

Despite receiving more than $885 million in federal economic stimulus funds since 2009, the D.C. government — whose residents face one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation — cannot say how many jobs it actually created for those who live in the District.

Most of the money has been spent, and data suggest that overall regional job growth did occur as a result of the massive infusion of capital. But a review by The Washington Times of figures provided by D.C. officials shows that the city spent hundreds of millions of dollars without being able to demonstrate any significant improvement in the city’s jobs outlook.

At least Carter used to produce something (besides hot air) before his election.

Porkulus, and son of Porkulus. Some of it went to the Louisiana Purchase, and some to the Cornhusker Kickback.
