Stimulus Watch: Now it’s fake zip codes

Recovery.gov, the Obama administration’s supposedly transparent attempt to let citizens know how every dollar of the $787 billion stimulus package was spent, is turning out to be a lot more comic fiction than fact.
Not only have fake jobs been reported in phantom congressional districts, Steve Allen Adams of NewMexicoWatchdog.org discovered that some of the $27 million of federal money his state received also went to nonexistent zip codes (http://newmexico.watchdog.org/2010/01/03/federal-stimulus-funds-reportedly-spent-in-nonexistent-zip-codes/):
“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 next quarterly report by the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board -- the federal agency in charge of tracking stimulus dollars, which responded to the fake congressional district scandal by labeling them “unassigned” -- is due January 30.
It should be hilarious.

It is very sad that our once great country has been destroyed by one small group of elected and appointed officials in a mere 11 months and 12 days. What is really sad is that 300 million plus Americans just stood by and did nothing.

Take a look at the brainpower Obama has dragged into D.C. and you will understand the problem. Many of these people are simply inner city agitators, trouble makers used to extort money from the guilty wealthy individuals and corporations. They don't have a clue as to how to manage a business much less a large government bureau.

They are there for one reason, to implement the administration agenda which is quite a bit different from what we are all used to in pre-Obama America.

Nothing will surprise me.

Don't say that 300 million stood by and did nothing, most of them voted for this.

LOL, your are correct but it is now very hard to find anyone that will admit that they voted for the Obamanation. Well, not many whites will admit to it, the others still have their hand out waiting for him to take care of them as he promised during his campaign.
