Awesome: Obama Saves 935 out of 508 Jobs!

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama's economic recovery program saved 935 jobs at the Southwest Georgia Community Action Council, an impressive success story for the stimulus plan. Trouble is, only 508 people work there.

The Georgia nonprofit's inflated job count is among persisting errors in the government's latest effort to measure the effect of the $787 billion stimulus plan despite White House promises last week that the new data would undergo an "extensive review" to root out errors discovered in an earlier report.

About two-thirds of the 14,506 jobs claimed to be saved under one federal office, the Administration for Children and Families at Health and Human Services, actually weren't saved at all, according to a review of the latest data by The Associated Press. Instead, that figure includes more than 9,300 existing employees in hundreds of local agencies who received pay raises and benefits and whose jobs weren't saved.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Haven't you heard? Due to budget cuts the US of A now has only 50 states. Seven had to be cut loose.....unfortunately SC wasn't one of them.

Sucks. Don't want to be either of those. Guess I can't make up statistics and have people like the DUmmies believe them.

They tried to issue a refund but couldn't figure who to give the money back to because nobody knows who paid in the first place.

I'd still swear it's just his spelling that sucks ass:  I'm sure whenever he uses that word, he's just trying to write "HERESY".  :-)
