Obama is trying to scam us!

I am so glad people actually check this stuff, and shocked ABC actually broke this story (i thought they were on his payroll?).


Jobs Saved or Created in Congressional Districts That Don't Exist - ABC News (http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/jobs-saved-created-congressional-districts-exist/story?id=9097853)

Recovery.gov (http://www.recovery.gov/Pages/home.aspx)

omg! what should we do?

Definitely interesting how many mistakes there are. And the administration's response is "human's make mistakes." No shit. But those are repeated egregious errors, all of which are statistically in favor of the recovery spending.

The thread title is a fail though.

Sorry. Administrator please change to "Obama is scamming us!!"

Maybe start a website where we try and raise money to buy DC Metro bus ads to... wait...... damn.

Quote:
Late Monday, officials with the Recovery Board created to track the stimulus spending, said the mistakes in crediting nonexistent congressional districts were caused by human error.


"We report what the recipients submit to us," said Ed Pound, Communications Director for the Board.

They then said this:

We expected all along that recipients would make mistakes on their congressional districts, on jobs numbers, on award amounts, and so on. Human beings make mistakes," Pound said.

Lets see. I know there are going to be mistakes but I don't take the time to check for these mistakes THAT I KNOW are coming. Goverment at its best. How will they ever keep up with all the paper work involved in health care? I guess that explains why Medicare gets ripped off to the tune of 60 billion.

those numbers are all subjective. is it jobs created, or jobs saves, or both? and if this is what its like for the first 6 months of his presidency, what is it going to be like towards the end? funny how the issues aren't being discussed, like Afghanistan. and first, your self employed. i cant believe with what your paying, you aren't willing to try something else

I'm guessing your talking about what I pay for health ins. Yes its not cheap now but lets fix that not add layers and layers of goverment regulation to make things worse. I have 0% confidence that any goverment agency can make my health ins. better and cheaper. I'm switching my current plan in Jan to a Health Savings Plan which will reduce my cost around 40% if we don't have anything major happen. If we have a major issue then I won't save but about 10%. Every year I go without something major the more that goes into that saving account and the more I will save. This is also one of the plans that the Dems want to do away with because the savings part is not taxed. Imagine that, They want the money saved to pay medical bills taxed.

Also we know those number are subjective but that makes it OK to also make up districts that are not there.

so you are content on your premiums going up every year?

Actually my premiums are going down this year with a new plan. So medicare has not gone up each year? How about how it does not cover things it once did and people now have to spend hundreds of dollars each month for suplimental ins. to make up for its short falls? Once again I just don't see the goverment making all these mandates without increasing cost. The two just don't go together.
