While the White House loves to come out and try to feed us ANOTHER LIE, about all the jobs they've saved or created, there seems to be a problem with their NUMBERS. Can anyone say.....FUZZY MATH?? From the AP:
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.(Bolding by me)
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.
But officials defended the practice of counting raises as saved jobs.
"If I give you a raise, it is going to save a portion of your job," HHS spokesman Luis Rosero said. (Bolding done by me)
:lol: :lol: :lol: Now THAT's logic. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Mabe if they hadn't handed out 9,300 pay raises, they could have hired 500 NEW workers, then they would have had some REAL numbers to brag about.
