When even the AP suggests the stimulus isn't working...

When even the liberal Associated Press suggests the stimulus isn’t working as we’re told, you know the bloom is coming off the Obama rose, and Americans are slowly but surely learning the destructive fiscal folly of his economic policies.

In an article reprinted in the Denver Post yesterday entitled “Stimulus jobs overcounted nationwide“, two AP reporters lay out details of companies that substantially overstated the number of jobs they claimed to have “saved or created” with stimulus money.

The AP’s early conclusion is that at least 1 out of 6 of the so-called 30,000 jobs “saved or created” so far is a fiction.

Let me put my big surprise face on.

    By the way... several of these articles are by an AP guy named Brett Blackledge.

    I crossed paths with him when I was reporting here in Birmingham, and thought the world of him *before* he won his Pulitzer for Investigative Reporting.

    He won't let this one go, trust me.
