Wreckovery Dot Gov
The most transparent administration has magically created or saved jobs in phantom congressional districts all over the nation. Their sleight of hand, however, has been detected by some investigative agencies.
$6.4 Billion Stimulus Goes to Phantom Districts
Just how big is the stimulus package? Well for one, it has doubled the size of the House of Representatives, according to recovery.gov, which says that funds were distributed to 440 congressional districts that do not exist.
According to data retrieved from recovery.gov, nearly $6.4 billion was used to “create or save” just under 30,000 jobs in these phantom congressional districts–almost $225,000 per job. The web site operates on an $84 million budget and is tasked with monitoring the distribution of the $787 billion stimulus package passed by Congress–which, for the record, counts 435 members–in early 2009.
The site’s monitors, however, are not too savvy about America’s political or geographic landscape. More than $2 million was given to the 99th District of North Dakota, a state which has only one congressional district. In order to qualify for 99 districts, North Dakota would have to have a population of about 60 million people, almost 24 million more people than California.
Vice President Biden must be proud to be in charge of such a magical effort. What was the number of that website again?
I found the Wreckovery logo at Michelle Malkin’s website a while back.

A question that comes to mind is…where’s the money?

It’s undoubtedly in pork projects and education (read the latter as ‘indoctrination’). The unions need their sustenance.

Hey, us phantom districts need money too! The costs of pretending to exist are going up just like everything else!
