Fudging job “creation” like we wouldn’t notice

By now thinking Americans know our government overreaches like that old character on Saturday Night Live ("That's the ticket!") on its claims of the number of jobs "created or saved" by his stimulus bill.

For a good analysis of this, the Complete Las Vegas recommends this link for your edification this morning. 

On a local note, don't forget to digest and understand the Review-Journal story that closely inspects what Sen. Harry Reid tried to pass off as his alleged job creation number. The Reid campaign folks must think all Nevadans are as gullible and accepting of his claims as the Las Vegas Sun.

If you have a working frontal cortex, you'll find these links interesting and instructive.
