Obama is trying to scam us!

We're absolutely being lied to by the Administration and when they're caught, they just shrug it off, blame American citizens and don't fix their records. We have no idea where the Stimulus money is going, nor will we.

Jobs Saved or Created in Congressional Districts That Don't Exist - ABC News


Exclusive: Jobs 'Saved or Created' in Congressional Districts That Don't Exist
Human Error Blamed for Crediting New Stimulus Jobs to Nonexistent Places


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.

And ABC News has found many more entries for projects like this in places that are incorrectly identified.

Late Monday, officials with the Recovery Board created to track the stimulus spending, said the mistakes in crediting nonexistent congressional districts were caused by human error.

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

Pound told ABC News the board receives declarations from the recipients - state governments, federal agencies and universities - of stimulus money about what program is being funded.

"Some recipients clearly don't know what congressional district they live in, so they appear to be just throwing in any number. We expected all along that recipients would make mistakes on their congressional districts, on jobs numbers, on award amounts, and so on. Human beings make mistakes," Pound said.

The issue has raised hackles on Capitol Hill.

Rep. David Obey, D-Wisc, who chairs the powerful House appropriations Committee, issued a paper statement demanding that the recovery.gov Web site be updated.

"The inaccuracies on recovery.gov that have come to light are outrageous and the Administration owes itself, the Congress, and every American a commitment to work night and day to correct the ludicrous mistakes."

This is not the only case of fraudulent

Not only AZ, but OK, IA, CT...even records for the US Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and other US Territories have been found to be inaccurate and jobs being reported as created are in districts that don't exist!

These people want to be trusted to run our heathcare? What a joke.

I don't think you get the big picture? It's like the philosophy that you must have more money as you have more checks in the checkbook. If the budget looks a little tight, we still have more states...right? 57...58...59....CAN I get a 60?

Thats way off. Something like that in goverment would create like 15 jobs. First you have someone making up the laws on how to break the windows, a safty advisor on broken glass, union director, office mgr. of broken glass, site safty advisor, site mgr, site forman, safty inspector, EPA regulator, EPA project mgr., OSAH site advisor, clean up man, EPA disposal director, transportation of hazardous materals director,

Like the FEMA cards to people who used them on luxury handbags and stuff. Any chance the states are reporting fraudulently?

I forgot about those famous FEMA cards. Our area just had a bad storm and several of my customers had flooding and are now having to deal with the National Flood Agency and man what a pain in the ass. I had one customer who had 4 rental homes on the same block and they sent out 4 different adjusters one for each house. Two of them took pictures of the same house and the other took some pictures of some house not even on the same block. I have had to go out there three times now to take the pictures myself and send them to the correct person. I don't mind doing that but its a joke to see how they operate. I'm sure the problems only happen with the National Flood Program and they will never have any of these issues with health care.
