Jobs ‘Saved or Created’ in Congressional Districts That Don’t Exist

Here’s a stimulus success story: In Arizona’s 15th congressional district, 30 jobs have been saved or created with just $761,420 in federal stimulus spending. At least that’s what the Web site set up by the Obama administration to track the $787 billion stimulus says.

Discrepancies on government web site call into question stimulus spending.

There’s one problem, though: There is no 15th congressional district in Arizona; the state has only eight districts.

And ABC News has found many more entries for projects like this in places that are incorrectly identified.

Human error? It’s more like corruption and cronyism! Once again another evidence showing government subsidies not only do not work, but are unconstitutional.

Thomas J. DiLorenzo’s How Capitalism Saved America: The Untold History of Our Country, from the Pilgrims to the Present is an excellent book highlighting the problem of government subsidies.
