WGRZ.com recently reported that according to the “open and transparent” website recovery.gov, federal stimulus dollars are apparently being spent in fictitious NY Congressional Districtsand even shows jobs being created in those fictitious communities.  From the story:

The government website tasked with transparent reporting of millions in federal stimulus dollars is making some mistakes.

Tuesday if you logged on to recovery.gov, and started to track where stimulus funds were spent, it lists millions of dollars spent in New York’s 00 congressional district.

It shows 44 jobs created in New York’s 71st congressional district

It also lists the 38th 45th and 51st congressional district in New York State, where jobs were created and money spent. Problem is, New York only has 29 congressional districts. Eleven of the districts where funds went, don’t exist.

It happened in more than one state and many times over.

Now we know where President Obama is getting those supposed numbers claiming extensive job creation he’s using to justify spending our money, our children’s money and our grand children’s money for his non-stimulus program.

GOP Congressman Chris Lee summed it up best:

“Only in the federal government will you spend almost $10 million dollars on a website that ultimately doesn’t even have accurate information,” said Rep. Chris Lee, representing New York’s very real 26th district.

Here’s the response from the administration:

“We never expected this reporting process to go without a glitch,” said Cheryl Arvidson, Assistant Communications Director for the Recovery Board.

That’s some glitch there Ms. Arvidson.  So much for openness and transparency from Obama.  Who’s managing this site, ACORN?  I wonder what the real numbers are showing?
