If this was Bush... Oh my God!

"The website, recovery.gov, reported $26.5 million going to 10 New Mexico congressional districts that do not exist," the group reports. "Those millions were credited with creating 61.5 jobs."

Additionally, $131,139 in funds reported for New Mexico were designated zip codes matching DuPont, Wash.; Richland, Wash.; and Gales Creek, Ore.

While the recovery website shows $373,874 was spent in zip code 97052, the group found that zero jobs were created. Likewise, $100,000 to zip code 86705 resulted in no additional jobs, and $36,218 to zip code 87258 purportedly created five jobs.

"None of these zip codes exist in New Mexico, or anywhere else, for that matter," Jim Scarantino of New Mexico Watchdog writes. "All told, we have found over $27 million dollars that has been reported as going to either nonexistent Congressional districts or nonexistent zip codes."

 

26.5 million for 61.5 jobs??? That is another huge RED flag.

Have you noticed that most, if not all of the wrong zip codes, are in states that Obama carried in the election... Can you say PAY OFF!!!!

Hi Terry, nothing surprises me anymore, nothing. It's sad.

Terry....It is amazing how these things never reach the majority of Americans so they can see what's really going on. Have a great day!

Why am I not surprised about this. If we ran our personal budgets like the government is running this country we would all be in jail, homeless and jobless. Who is holding them accountable and why is the media not all over this? So frustrating...

I think that is exactly why people are beginning to look for answers from new media outlets for accurate reporting. Here is an example of where we can find real reporting.

Terry,

We need to demand accounting for every penny spent and if they cannot account for it they should have to cough it up. By the way, I went to Destin right before christmas but came home early as it was cold there.

Terry, I can't even count the times I've said "can you imagine if the Bush administration was this crooked". Anyone with a clue should now understand how dishonest the mainstream "propaganda" media is!

If it's a matter of data enry error, there sure is an awful lot of erroneous data entry going on.  But, what's a few million here and there?

In Illinois, there are several school districts that claimed to have created more jobs than the districts actually employ.  Go figure that one out.

I believe several of these problems are do to the reporting method used. It depends deeply on horrible web pages developed by the administration!

Terry - hey, what's the problem with fat fingering a few digits? After all, this is the government, it can't be expected to be accurate.

Paul - and just think, it only cost $18 million of stimulus dollars.

Terry,

I love the recovery.gov website.  Obama has finally found a way to create a transparency that allows me to see who is stealing my money almost as fast as he is giving it away!

Is information considered transparent if its not accurate at all?

Also, the average cost of a job from the "Recovery Act" is around $245,000...  The average pay is around $65,000.  Boy, that government is efficient.

Hey Terry, if and when you find where these zip codes do exist let me know so I can move there and get a piece of the pie.  Perhaps they were just entered backwards.  ^_~    Interesting and another good example of our tax dollars at work!

Wait, I had a thought.  Perhaps they align with North Korea, Cuba, or Venezuela.
