What else is new. The books on this were cooked before the bill even came to a vote. It had nothing for jobs but was for control. It is a bait and switch and the people are still after the bait not seeing what is really happening.

Just $4.7 million so far? Obama is short-changing the state. He knows damned well the standard fees and assessments apply in all federal programs involving Crook County. $4.7 million will go along way if it is well-spent, but he needs to remember that when you are dealing with money in those increments, it doesn't grease quite enough palms. We have our standards to maintain, you know. I'm surprised Obamaster has forgotten about how we do business in this state so quickly. We need to send somebody from SEIU and ACORN to talk to him. He needs an attitude adjustment. Enough of the chump change. We need a bigger bailout.

LOL...why does this math not surprise me? I know how to "cherry pick" statistics to paint a desirable picture, but this is extremely 'creative accounting'!!!!!

Numbers in Illinois never do add up. A local reporter for a small town paper did an article recently about the jobs created or saved in the schools and the source from the state told her that they had to get creative with the data.

Sounds like lying to me.

The schools that she asked told her that the stimulus did ZIP, NADA, ZILCH, not SQUAT. As their employment planning actually began before the stimulus was created.

nothing adds up when it comes to what and where all this money is or is being spent

What a waste of taxpayers monies. . .

Tell us, how much does each job "saved" cost the American Taxpayer?
Good Job Tribune for actually doing your job!

ROFLMAO---THE OLD bait and switch CHICAGO MATH!!
1+1=6 BETTER than OBAMA MATH!!

Stuart Varney cleary displayed this regime lies on Fox --one project in Teaxas was for $26K to redo a roof in a certain area. It took 400 hours to get it done and therefore they counted it as 400 jobs saved or created.

Smooth talkin, smile in your face all the time we are being bull sh**#ed with little play on word games. I knew this was going to happen the day it slithered out of his mouth! I said it and I am not even going to pat myself on the back for being right on target! For the uninformed, this is proof cause the govt tells them so. They are just living their lives taking care of their family….the fact they are no longer in control of their lives doesn’t enter their minds…..

This play on words, this blatant form of deceit is nothing more than common and can be learned on the streets in any project of any inner city. Place a suit on someone attractive and new…and you have yourself a winning combination. The thing is, common is just that…now they rely on the continued ignorance of the easily lead…but they aren’t paying attention…they are just expecting for all their worries to be taken care of.





But common lacks something…..sense! This administration has no common sense.

they only add up in Obamas feeble brain

Really??? OMG!! Another lie?? There have been so many it's hard to keep them straight!

Unemployment is at 10%, and he's "saved" how many jobs? None , so far as I can tell! I was never very good at ath, but even I can tell these numbers Stink!

Truth, from this Administration, would be somewhat refreshing. However, I doubt this will ever be the case. Blue-White smoke blown up the collective arses of the hoi polloi seems to be the norm.

How can they possibly CLAIM Jobs Saved? There can
be nothing better than statistical projections calculated regarding job losses, and the data changes day by day.

Wasn't it the Democrats who coined the phrase, "Fuzzy Math" when they were criticising proposals made by Republicans"

Would you believe that I wrote my comment before I looked at anyone else's

We're all on the same page with this.

Of course it doesn't add up. There is no way you can tell if a job has been saved. As for the numbers it's just fuzzy math which seems to be The way this administration works. Everything they do is fuzzy.

If we ever learn the truth in anything this administration does, we should get down on our knees and tell our Lord, "Thank You!" What a shame one lie has to cover up another lie.

Is Turbo Tim doing the math again?
