Two stories caught my attention today, and since the majority of this blog’s readers are in MN and AZ, I thought I’d put them together:

From MN:

You’d never know it without going online to the new and improved federal government stimulus tracking website, but the economy and jobs picture is really picking up in Minnesota’s 57th congressional district. There in plain sight, it states that 35 jobs have been saved or created as a result of $404,340 in stimulus spending, according to the figures found by the Freedom Foundation of Minnesota on the federal government’s stimulus tracking website on the summary page for MInnesota at Recovery.gov.

Over in Minnesota ’s 27th congressional district, however, it appears to be a bleaker picture for those hoping for a turnaround. The federal government’s statistics indicate only 2.5 jobs have been created or saved despite the listed expenditure of $3,159,657 of taxpayer dollars.

Then there’s the 13th congressional district which outperformed them all. Hard to believe, but the hard working folks in the 13th congressional district generated five jobs from just $42,109 in stimulus spending.

And AZ:

This afternoon comes the most encouraging economic news, courtesy of our keen-eyed buddy Rick Klein over at ABC, that the Obama administration’s $787-billion economic stimulus has, for example, thankfully created 30 new jobs in a little-known rural corner of Arizona at a cost to American taxpayers of only $761,420.

That works out to only $25,380.67 spent to create each individual job.

So the people of that 15th Congressional District in staunchly Republican Arizona should be pretty happy about this.

So congratulations to the administration on … wait … hold on … this just in…

None of those congressional districts exist.  Sorry.  Each state has eight districts, so the MN 13, 27, and 57 aren’t real.  Nor is the AZ 15th.

Most. Transparent. Administration. Ever.  So transparent, you can almost see right through them.

Remember, these are the people who want to take over your health care.

BTW, the fake jobs/fake districts aren’t limited to AZ and MN.  For instance, there’s CA, KS, NM, NH, and on and on…
