Stimulus jobs overstated by thousands...
The AP review found some counts were more than 10 times as high as the actual number of jobs; some jobs credited to the stimulus program were counted two and sometimes more than four times; and other jobs were credited to stimulus spending when none was produced.

Again you post without checking the facts. The source of the press release was by a company that thrives on the used car market. Why would they be against a program that pushed new car sales and took many used cars off of the market? Hmmmm...talk about compensated postings!!!
The actual press release says that the $24,000 figure you quote was not based on the total of 690,000 clunkers, but a made-up figure of 125,000. That's quite a difference per car.
Holy misinformation Batman, er, care to tell people your posting motivations and profits?

Obama Upset With Commoners For Criticizing His $74,000 Date Night
And, it seems like it was just yesterday that Barack Obama was telling us that everyone was going to have to sacrifice for the greater good.
Well… Some of us have to sacrifice anyway.

'Jobs Created or Saved' Is White House Fantasy...
When the government distributes lucre or loot, people spend it. If your interest is national income accounting, spending other people’s money is great. Spending is a back-door way for government statisticians to measure what matters, which is the real output of goods and services.
But the government has no money of its own to spend; only what it borrows or confiscates from us via taxation. Oops.
“Government job creation is an oxymoron,” said Bill Dunkelberg[/url], chief economist at the National Federation of Independent Business. It is only by depriving the private sector of funds that government can hire or subsidize hiring.

This is unbelievable and completely ridicules.
Written by Dr. Paul L. Williams
"In my own life, in my own small way, I have tried to
give back to this country that has given me so much,"
she said. "See, that's why I left a job at a big
law firm for a career in public service, "... Michelle Obama
No, Michele Obama does not get paid to serve as the First
Lady and she doesn't perform any official duties. But
this hasn't deterred her from hiring an unprecedented
number of staffers to cater to her every whim and to satisfy
her every request in the midst of the Great Recession.
Just think, Mary Lincoln was taken to task for purchasing china
for the White House during the Civil War. And Mamie Eisenhower
had to shell out the salary for her personal secretary from her husband's salary.
Total Personal Staff members for other first ladies paid by taxpayers:
Jamie Eisenhower : 1 paid for personally out of President's salary
Jackie Kennedy: 1
Roseline Carter: 1
Barbara Bush: 1
Hilary Clinton: 3
Laura Bush: 1
Michele Obama: 22
How things have changed! If you're one of the tens of
millions of Americans facing certain destitution, earning
less than subsistence wages stocking the shelves at Wal-Mart
or serving up McDonald cheeseburgers, prepare to scream and
then come to realize that the benefit package for these
servants of Ms Michelle are the same as members of the
national security and defense departments and the bill for
these assorted lackeys is paid by YOU, John Q. Public:
Michele Obama's personal staff:
1. $172,200 - Sher, Susan (Chief Of Staff)
2. $140,000 - Frye, Jocelyn C. (Deputy Assistant to the
President and Director of Policy And Projects For The First Lady)
3. $113,000 - Rogers, Desiree G. (Special Assistant to the
President and White House Social Secretary for Mrs. Obama)
4. $102,000 - Johnston, Camille Y. (Special Assistant to
the President and Director of Communications for the First Lady)
5. $100,000 - Winter, Melissa E. (Special Assistant to the
President and Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)
6. $90,000 - Medina , David S. (Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)
7. $84,000 - Lel yveld, Catherine M. (Director and Press Secretary to the First Lady)
8. $75,000 - Starkey, Frances M. (Director of Scheduling and Advance for the First Lady)
9. $70,000 - Sanders, Trooper (Deputy Director of Policy and Projects for the First Lady)
10. $65,000 - Burnough, Erinn J. (Deputy Director and Deputy Social Secretary)
11. $64,000 - Reinstein, Joseph B. (Deputy Director and Deputy Social Secretary)
12. $62,000 - Goodman, Jennifer R (Deputy Director of Scheduling and Events
Coordinator For The First Lady)
13. $60,000 - Fitts, Alan O. (Deputy Director of Advance and Trip Director for the First Lady)
14. $57,500 - Lewis, Dana M. (Special Assistant and Personal Aide to the First Lady)
15. $52,500 - Mustaphi, Semonti M. (Associate Director and Deputy Press Secretary To The First Lady)
16. $50,000 - Jarvis, Kristen E. (Special Assistant for Scheduling and Traveling Aide To The First Lady)
17. $45,000 - Lechtenberg, Tyler A. (Associate Director of Correspondence For The First Lady)
18. $43,000 - Tubman, Samanth a (Deputy Associate Director, Social Office)
19. $40,000 - Boswell, Joseph J. (Executive Assistant to the Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)
20. $36,000 - Armbruster, Sally M. (Staff Assistant to the Social Secretary)
21. $35,000 - Bookey, Natalie (Staff Assistant)
22. $35,000 - Jackson, Deilia A. (Deputy Associate Director of Correspondence for the First Lady)
(total = $1,591,200 in annual salaries)
There has NEVER been anyone in the White House at any time
who has created such an army of staffers whose sole duties
are the facilitation of the First Lady's social life.
One wonders why she needs so much help, at taxpayer expense.
Note: This does not include makeup artist Ingrid
Grimes-Miles, 49, and "First Hairstylist" Johnny
Wright, 31, both of whom traveled aboard Air Force One to Europe .

Yes, I know, The Canadian Free Press
had to publish this perhaps because America no
longer has a free press and the USA media is too scared
that they might be considered racist or suffer at the hands
of Obama. Sorry America !

Fun with Deficit Numbers
Lee DeCovnick
The Federal deficit for October is reported to top $176.4 billion dollars. The weight of this many one-dollar bills equals the weight of two aircraft carriers. Laid end-to-end, this many bills would reach almost half way to Mars.
Each second in October the federal debt could pay for a new Corvette Z06. That's enough Corvettes to stretch from New York to Shanghai.
Each minute the deficit grows by $3.95 million, the equivalent of buying a new MRI machine, and funding the professionals needed to maintain and operate it 24/7 for an entire year. That's over forty-four thousand new MRI clinics worldwide, in one month.
Each hour, for a cool $237.1 million, the taxpayers could afford fifty-five brand new M1-A Abrams main battle tanks. So that's forty-one thousand tanks in October, as compared to the entire WWII US war production of forty-seven thousand Sherman tanks. That would be a real stimulus package.
Each day we sink a further $5.7 billion in debt. Those same dollars could construct, equip and staff four large research and teaching hospitals. Would we even need socialized healthcare if this country built a hundred and twenty-four new, fully staffed hospitals in October?
What does $176.4 billion really mean to the working taxpayer? Well, each household's share of the Federal debt is increasing by $49 a day.
Our deficit spending is out of control, and Congress is attempting to spend even more on socialized healthcare and other political payoffs to special interests. The irrationality of adding to this debt goes beyond political ideology and enters the realm of fiscal insanity and malicious intentions.
