Gov't says 650,000 jobs created, saved by stimulus

Now I understand the jobs saved are all government jobs, but were did they create jobs when enemployment is still rising. Do you think Obama may be fudging the numbers just a little. Consumer spending is down, why, it's the economy stupid. Where are the jobs?

From the article:

"But the job market has yet to show signs of recovery, putting pressure on the White House to show that the stimulus was worth its hefty price tag."

This is the same bunch that will attribute every car sold as a C4C, so whilst your question is valid, you will not receive a valid answer.

it is all based on a computer model , wishful thinking. Like the deceptive GDP numbers, this report is based on Govt spending not actual jobs. They plug how much they spent into a model and do calculations according to a formula they have created. Very much like the way they report climate change data. It is all Bull Crap!
