the Frightening Myth of Stimulus Jobs

The Obama Administration are seeing them everywhere, like ghosts of productions past. Jobs haunt the economy as if resurrected out of nothing but government waste. Yet no one can see them except the White House, reporting "created and saved" spooks across the country.

White House officials, under pressure from the economy's continuing job losses, plan to announce Friday that President Barack Obama's $787 billion stimulus plan "has created and saved at least 1 million jobs" since he signed it in February.

If only we could believe that. Alas, we can't. And even CBS, a news network given the President's stamp of approval, is asking the same question: Where are the stimulus jobs?



The last line is the real climax: the government, i.e. the taxpayer, spent $219,000 of stimulus funds to study the sex lives of first-year female college students.

Let me guess, Clinton needed a job.
