Yesterday I learned that the White House web site, recovery.gov has inflated and fictitious tracking data posted in regards to the job creation from the Stimulus Bill. While I'm not surprised by the discrepancies, I am more concerned about the lack of respect being shown to the American public.
When President Obama was campaigning, his use of the Internet and technology attracted a whole new generation of voters. His ability to harness and captivate the Internet audience produced never seen before record donations to his cause.
On the aforementioned web site, 640,329 jobs are claimed to have been saved since the infusion of the federal monies from the Stimulus. It has now come to light, that in fact many of the recipients of the aid have been lying about the job numbers they have been reporting. In addition, the web site data shows fictional congressional districts throughout the US that do not exist. Saved job numbers are being reported as well in these erroneous precincts.
The issue I am having is a simple one. How can such a well oiled machine during the campaign process, think that this type of half hazard accountability is acceptable to the citizens of this country?
