WH: One Million Jobs Saved or Created

This is just more of the theater of the absurd that is passing for an executive branch of government. You can not continue to piss on my shoes and tell me it is raining. This is the type of stories we heard propagated by the old Politiburo through their media arm known as Pravda, the Russian word for "The Truth".
White House economists said Thursday that the Obama administration's recovery efforts have saved or created more than one million jobs so far, an optimistic report that economists cautioned was preliminary and uncertain.

It must be nice to pull numbers out of your butt which are hard to rebut since there is no way of knowing how many jobs would have been lost without the stimulus package, which is what the administration says saved all of the jobs.

Just speaking for my little corner of the world, I ain't seen no jobs being saved. Our unemployment continues to rise. In fact by now most folks are pretty aware that the only sector that is hiring is the federal government. It takes a lot of people to man the offices of the czars.
The report is certain to draw criticism because the U.S. economy has actually lost about 2.5 million jobs since the stimulus was signed in February. Because the White House number is based on economic models, it's impossible to say for certain what that number would have been without the stimulus.



Stolen from Big Hollywood.
