Exclusive: Jobs 'Saved or Created' in Congressional Districts That Don't ExistHuman Error Blamed for Crediting New Stimulus Jobs to Nonexistent Places By JONATHAN KARL Nov. 16, 2009 Here's a stimulus success story: In Arizona's 15th congressional district, 30 jobs have been saved or created with just $761,420 in federal stimulus spending. At least that's what the Web site set up by the Obama administration to track the $787 billion stimulus says. Discrepancies on government web site call into question stimulus spending.There's one problem, though: There is no 15th congressional district in Arizona; the state has only eight districts.

"We report what the recipients submit to us," said Ed Pound, Communications Director for the Board."

"Some recipients clearly don't know what congressional district they live in, so they appear to be just throwing in any number.

I don't know where they get their stats from. Everyday there are businesses closing and people being laid off. We read it in the paper and hear it on the news daily. So where are these 'created new jobs'? Jobs that will last long after the stimulus?  |

Those jobs are in the Obama administrations imagination, smoke and mirrors to keep we the people in the dark. |
