Jobs Saved or Created in Congressional Districts That Don’t Exist – ABC News. This article is no surprise really. Like many socialist programs throughout history, Obama’s stimulus hasn’t exactly stimulated much, and, desperate for success to report, it appears that he may have taken to making up numbers to fill the void. And while this instance may turn out to be human error, it deserves consideration as possibly something more. As Rep. Obey, the Democrat chair of the House appropriations committee said, “The inaccuracies on recovery.gov that have come to light are outrageous and the Administration owes itself, the Congress, and every American a commitment to work night and day to correct the ludicrous mistakes.” Ludicrous indeed—however, what Congressman Obey fails to recognize is that the real ludicrousness lies with the program itself. This whole episode brought to my mind the multi-year “plans” of Soviet Russia. They didn’t work, of course, but in order to maintain the support of the people, the propagandists in the Kremlin expediently made up number to show the “success” of the program. Is the White House making up numbers to pad the success of its stimulus program? I can’t say for sure, but it wouldn’t surprise me at all. History has a way of repeating itself.
