The number of jobs in the U.S. is currently 129.7 million.  So to justify the Administration’s current claim of 2.8 million jobs “created or saved” by stimulus, they need to also claim that without that stimulus there would be only 126.9 million jobs. 

There’s only one problem.  That’s not what the Obama Administration claimed just a year ago.  Just a year ago, the Magic Marxist and crew claimed that without their stimulus there would be 133.9 million jobs.  Wait! Where did that 7 million jobs go?

It’s not like we’re not used to this lying administration and their hideous fuzzy math!

Here’s the math:

Step 1: How many jobs does the Administration currently claim there would be, without stimulus?

129.7 million Current number of U.S. jobs

-  2.8 million Jobs currently claimed to be “created or saved”

126.9 million Jobs the Administration currently claims there would be without stimulus

Step 2: How does that compare with the number of jobs the Administration used to say there would be without stimulus?

133.9 million January 2009 projection of jobs without stimulus

- 126.9 million Current claim of jobs without stimulus

= 7 million Jobs removed from the Administration “baseline” to justify their latest stimulus job creation claims

Honesty?

No, that’s not in their vocabulary.
