Stimulus job boost in state exaggerated, review finds

Errors, incomplete data, estimated positions go into federal report.

I am shocked. Shocked. To find out that the United States Government is unable to count. Or maybe they are just unable to tell the truth. Could it be they just don't know what they are doing?

Evidently no one explained to the recipients of stimulus money what a job really is. I guess someone receiving a welfare check must count as at least one job, since people who have not been hired count as one job, and people who actually have a job can count as two.

Feds: Stimulus money sent to 4,000 cons

I wonder if the people serving time in prison who received a stimulus check count as employees?

At least I can sleep easier at night knowing the Government that counted the above jobs as created, was also capable of counting the economy as saved.
