Making it up as they go along

You know how the Obama administration likes to point to the idiotic stimulus package as having created or saved hundreds of thousands of jobs? Well, it turns out they've been lying to us but, any half-witted dropout could have told you that....

From Hotair - 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.

Here's the administration's lame attempt at an explanation.....

“If I give you a raise, it is going to save a portion of your job,” HHS spokesman Luis Rosero said.

What a lying moron! If you get a raise, it means that the job you occupy wasn't in jeopardy in the first place. I swear, this administration is just pulling numbers out of their asses that match whatever they want the numbers to be. And the dutiful media regurgitate them as if they are fact. Thankfully the AP did the math on it's own for a change, and exposed the administration lies for what they are....rotten lies!

The stimulus was nothing but the biggest vote-buying scheme ever concocted by any presidency in history, in which the money was directed toward pet projects of favored lobbyists. If Obama was serious about putting Americans back to work rather than expanding permanently the welfare and unemployment roles, he would immediately rescind the federal income-tax liability across the board for 1 month. Or, he could lower taxes for small businesses and individuals, or both. That would infuse billions into the economy immediately. The only problem is it restricts the growth of the federal government and cedes control of our lives back to the people.....Obama can't have Americans making decisions for themselves and seeing to their own needs now can he?
