$5,740,757 in 9 Phantom CA Congressional Districts = 24.2 Phantom Jobs
This is exactly the kind of waste, fraud and abuse that you can expect from government run healthcare
Washington,
Nov 18, 2009 -
Congressman George Radanovich (R-Mariposa) today welcomed the addition of nine new, phantom California Congressional Districts created by President Obama’s Recovery.gov. Shockingly, of the nine new districts (one of which is without a number), the Obama Administration has spent over $5.7 million to create 24.2 fake jobs—in the “64th Congressional District”, the Democrats’ failed Stimulus spent $1,350,000 to create one tenth of a job.
“I am pleased to welcome the nine new congressional districts to the California delegation,” said Radanovich. “I can only hope that President Obama recognized the disparity between Democrat and Republican districts in California and had the foresight to designate the new districts as ‘Republican.’”
“All kidding aside, this is exactly the kind of waste, fraud and abuse that my Republican colleagues and I warned about before voting against the Stimulus,” said Radanovich. “You can guarantee that this same irresponsible government spending will happen with a new government run healthcare plan or a cap and tax energy scheme.
“So far, the Democrats’ failed $787 ‘stimulus’ has resulted in 10.2 percent unemployment and over 3 million jobs lost,” said Radanovich.
