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

    Another example of how the stimulus is working????

    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.
    Share
    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...

    Heard tonight that there are many more inaccurate information. So much for transparency! Looks like more of the same. We now have people lying about where the money went to make the current administration look good. Don't really care about "...Well the last administrations did it..." So much for change and hope and no more politics as usual!
    NEVER trust anyone who does not RESPECT opposing points of view!

    How about those green jobs the stimulus was going to create? I thought it was going to be American jobs. I guess not so much.

    Wind turbine jobs blow in China's direction

    12:00 AM CST on Tuesday, November 17, 2009

    WASHINGTON – The rush to America of foreign wind-turbine manufacturers shows that the Obama administration's plan for stimulating the creation of green-energy jobs is going in an odd direction.

    Two weeks ago, U.S. Renewable Energy Group, led by Dallas investor Cappy McGarr, announced plans to build a $1.5 billion wind energy farm in West Texas. About a third of the money would come from federal stimulus funds. All of the wind turbines (and much of the remaining investment capital) would come from China.

    "We believe that this project will greatly contribute to job creation, the goals of the Obama administration and our desire to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and increase our energy independence," McGarr said in announcing the deal.

    There would be perhaps 330 jobs created in Texas. Most would be temporary construction jobs. Meanwhile, thousands of Chinese workers in the northeastern industrial city Shenyang would build the labor-intensive turbines.

    Most of the wind energy projects seeking money under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act rely on foreign-made turbines. Even the industry we have here at home, led by GE, is looking abroad. GE's technology will power the gearboxes of the turbines for the U.S. Renewable Energy Group. The gearboxes will be made in China...

    Nothing to add really, just wanted to make a post on a thread that TK hasn't come up with a response to. But I'm sure she will as soon as Keith and Rachel tell her what to say.:D:D:D:D. Just trying to fit in, TK.
    "Whatever Congress wishes to give, it has to first take other people's money. Thus, at the root of the welfare state is the immorality of intimidation, threats and coercion backed up with the threat of violence by the agents of the U.S. Congress. In order for Congress to do what some Americans deem as good, it must first do evil. It must do that which if done privately would mean a jail sentence; namely, take the property of one American to give to another."
