Lawmakers Slam Administration for Faulty Job Data on Government Web Site
by
FOXNews.com
The
government Web site -- Recovery.gov -- is under fire for posting a
number of jobs created in congressional districts that don't exist and
for accepting unrealistic data from several reporting outlets.
The Democratic chairman of the House Appropriations Committee is
demanding greater accountability from the the Obama administration
after gross inaccuracies were found on a government Web site that
tracks jobs purportedly saved or created by the $787 billion stimulus
plan.
But Rep. David Obey of Wisconsin isn't against Congress spending
more money for another jobs package next year, and said the mistakes
undermine what has been an otherwise successful stimulus package.
In an interview with Fox News on Tuesday, Obey called the
inaccuracies on Recovery.gov "infuriating" and said the success of the
government's stimulus package has been "obscured by the silly
mistakes."
