Reports supported by the White House hailing the success of billions in porkulus spending to create or save jobs underscore the liberal need to preempt news their agenda is failing. Other reports tell a different story about stimulus money and jobs.

from the LA Times….
…some federal agencies and recipients of the money provided incorrect job counts. The review found some counts were more than 10 times as high as the actual number of jobs; some jobs were credited to stimulus spending when, in fact, none were produced.

from the AP….
Elsewhere in the U.S., some jobs credited to the stimulus program were counted two, three, four or even more times.

and it gets better…..
Washington, D.C. (AHN) - The White House is pushing back hard against an Associated Press story released late Tuesday saying jobs credited to the Obama administration’s $787 billion recovery package, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), were counted more than once in the first audit of the program.

If you review economic data and analysis over the course of this year an abundance of conflicting assessments will be found. From revised estimates and forecasts to suspect reasons given for outcomes suggested any conclusion drawn can be matched with an alternate conclusion that is entirely different. This latest fiasco from the White House demonstrates the widespread disinformation strategy that is collapsing in Washington.

So, what else are they lying about? Stay tuned.
