Comments on: The Fake Jobs of Obama’s Failed Stimulus http://www.dvorak.org/blog/2009/11/17/the-fake-jobs-of-obama%e2%80%99s-failed-stimulus/ General interest observations and true web-log.

What is more likely, that some politician is fabricating all of this to lie and deceive you all? Or that the data was filled out hastily and has lots of errors. Remeber Hanlon's Razor: "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity." My understanding is that you can look up the institutions that got the money and see where they are located, but the entries have the wrong district numbers and often the wrong ZIP code.

In that respect, it is worth watching. I'm one of the people who thinks Beck is a flake, so I should have known better no matter what the original source claimed.

If Obama gave $23 Trillion to the banks and Bush gave $185 Trillion to his buddies, don't you think we would have a deficit somewhat higher than $1.5 Trillion? For God's sake, if you are going to make up numbers, get them in the ballpark! I think you may have missed some decimals. Either that or I need the number of your dealers. #2, #6

Partisan hacks are on both sides who blame others but not their own. I would venture to guess the left here monopolize this site more than the right. :) 39, Same thing happened with the food pyramid website when a new one was proposed a few years ago. 37, Good point.

There does not seem to be a statute of limitations for blaming Bush when the current administration or their ilk skirts taking responsibility for their own actions. 30, It seems Obama takes credit for anything positive but blames the previous administration for anything negative.

If you get news from each perspective, each side will rat the other out and you can come to your own conclusions. It beats trying to get news spoon fed from subjective sources who promote themselves as being objective. 28, Overtly biased sources of news are a great way to get the news from one perspective.
