Slapping lipstick on the porkulus pig.
“Saved or created” is out, “jobs funded” is in. Why, that can apply to anything. Brilliant! This change in terminology is sure to turn around the bleak employment picture in the US. Why didn’t they think of this before?
The Obama administration has taken some heat and mockery for using the nebulous and non-economic term of jobs being “saved or created” by the $787 billion stimulus program.
So it’s gotten rid of it.
In a little-noticed December 18, 2009 memo from Office of Management and Budget director Peter Orszag the Obama administration is changing the way stimulus jobs are counted.
The memo, first noted by ProPublica, says that those receiving stimulus funds no longer have to say whether a job has been saved or created.
“Instead, recipients will more easily and objectively report on jobs funded with Recovery Act dollars,” Orszag wrote.
In other words, if the project is being funded with stimulus dollars – even if the person worked at that company or organization before and will work the same place afterwards – that’s a stimulus job. …
If you’re out of work or your job’s on the chopping block, you can rest easy knowing somewhere, someone’s job is being funded by your grandchildren. Congratulations!

Bizzaro World. Numbers are irrelevant. It’s how long can they dance on the head of a pin and get away with it before real misery sets in with the American citizens. All indicators speak for themselves. The administration understands where they are taking us and that is to consciously and willfully collapse the current systems so they can step in as government saviors. It’s all created crisis by the administration to advance their agenda, and it definitely doesn’t include more liberties. Until we see some honest confrontational challenges from the MSM, the Obamites believe they are fooling us. Don’t hold your breath.
And I quote from history:
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” –Josef Goebbels
