America’s health care system, it seems, is soon to be in the very best of hands, people!
I mean, Team Barry is just killing with the way they’re “stimulating” the economy:
Closer examination of the latest recovery.gov report for New Mexico shows hundreds of thousands of dollars sent to and credited with creating jobs in zip codes that do not exist in New Mexico or anywhere else. Moreover, funds reported as being spent in New Mexico were given zip codes corresponding to areas in Washington and Oregon.
The recovery.gov site reports that $373,874 was spent in zip code 97052. Unfortunately, this expenditure created zip jobs. But $36,218 was credited with creating 5 jobs in zip code 87258. A cool hundred grand went into zip code 86705, but didn’t result in even one person finding work.
None of these zip codes exist in New Mexico, or anywhere else, for that matter.
via Stimulus Funds Went to Nonexistent Zip Code Areas
Cap’n Ed over at Hot Air has a list of the seventeen other states where similar mythical job-creating stimulus spending has occurred.
