OBAMA SENDS "STIMULUS" FUNDS TO PHANTOM CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS
by Tom DeWeese - March 23, 2010
"The website reported that $26.5 million went to ten New Mexico Congressional districts. The site credited that money with creating a whopping 61.5 jobs. That, in itself, should be a crime – spending more than $430,000 per job crated. However, that wasn’t the big story. The fact is, those ten Congressional districts do not exist. New Mexico only has three – not thirteen."
Not only is this rampant among multiple states, but there are some other consistencies as well.
NORTH CAROLINA
| Award Type | Number of Awards | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Contracts: | 477 | $262,047,993 |
| Grants: | 3,644 | $4,007,660,630 |
| Loans: | 30 | $19,929,165 |
Total: | 4,151 | $4,289,637,788 |
Obviously this cronyism at work. All states lopsided with grants to special interests. Paying back the supporters during the election, no doubt. Very little to small business loans or minority contracts. These created minimal jobs and those jobs were for high tech or high skilled professionals.
What's it costing taxpayers to create one of these jobs? How about $300,000 per job sound?
Here's a sampling of my states grant recipients. That is, the less the money going to invisible entities.
| A Way Home | S-09-MY-37-0002 | Department of Housing and Urban Development | Grants | $900,217.00 |
| ADOLESCENT & FAMILY ENRICHMENT COUNCIL, INC | 2009-SG-B9-0109 | Department of Justice | Grants | $81,496.76 |
| Advance Cleaning Systems Inc | W91278-07-D-0043 | CV01 | Department of the Army | Contracts | $114,660.00 |
