WASHINGTON — The government’s latest count of stimulus jobs significantly overstates the effects of the $787 billion program under a popular federal preschool program, raising fresh questions about the process the Obama administration is using to tout the success of its economic recovery plan.

An Associated Press review of the latest stimulus reports — which the White House promised would undergo extensive reviews to ensure accuracy — found that more than two-thirds of 14,506 jobs credited to the recovery act under spending by just one federal office were overstated because they counted pay increases for existing workers as jobs saved.

Frieken shisters, people are unemployed, losing their homes and 401ks left and right and they have the gall to not only give government workers a raise but to also fraudulently count them as saved jobs.

Unbelievable, those who voted for the rock star ought to undergo an intervention of their far left addicted faculties.

Unfortunately very few people will even hear about this. You will not see this on any media source, except for the one that was discredited by these fascist dictator.
