The results of Barack Obama's $787 billion pork-filled stimulus package have already been wildly exaggerated, including claims of jobs created in congressional districts that don't even exist. Now the Office of Management and Budget has announced that it's about to get even more deceptive. OMB released a memo claiming they'll no longer report jobs "created" or "saved" by the stimulus, as they did before, but instead jobs funded.
In other words, if the stimulus spent money with the intention of creating a job, even if that job was never created in the first place, the Obama Administration will claim credit for it.
When asked to explain this transparently corrupt decision, an OMB spokesman said, "No one understood what created or saved meant. So we are using a more easy to understand definition." The White House actually believes that Americans, 10% of whom are unemployed, wouldn't understand what it meant to create a job. It's just another example of why you can't believe anything said by anyone in Barack Obama's government.
