Texas man gets $26,174 to fix roof and fence at his apartment building. Government claims 450 jobs saved.
Police department in Plymouth Conn receives $15,355 for new computers. Government claims 108 jobs saved at this department of 22 cops.
Southwest Georgia Community Action Council- recieves $1.3 million. Government claims 935 jobs saved (out of only 500 employees!) In reality, they used the money for a pay raise.
Teach For America- received $2 million to help fund salaries for their 125 employees. Government claims 1425 jobs created or saved.
Obama math?
As an aside, the 'package' invested $2.3 Billion in CIT with CIT filing BK last Sunday - appears that the 'investment' will be lost - although it also appears that no one seems concerned about the loss.
Wake up America.

The government’s Web site that is supposed to tell taxpayers how their stimulus dollars are being spent, and which spends $84 million per year to do so, shows that $6.4 billion of the stimulus has been spent in 440 congressional districts that don’t exist, according to a report by the Franklin Center, as reported by Watchdog.org.
The site, Recovery.gov, reports, for instance, that North Dakota’s 99th Congressional District has received $2 million in stimulus funding. But North Dakota has only one congressional district. The nation’s capital now contains 35 congressional districts, according to Recovery.gov.
For those keeping score at home, there are really only 435 congressional districts, so adding 440 new ones effectively doubles the size of the House of Representatives. By the way, Recovery.gov also reports that the $6.4 billion spent in those districts has created 30,000 jobs, which works out to almost $225,000 per job created. Various news reports, however, show that many of the estimates of “jobs created or saved” are bogus, so that number, too is in doubt.
..........and no body in Washington has the integrity or b@lls to stand up publicly with this info and demand an explaination from Hussien.
