Since then it has come to light that many of those jobs were not created or saved by federal spending at all. Some recipients of “stimulus” money handed out raises, then claimed jobs were saved. And in Ohio, for example, some school districts admitted that teacher positions funded with “stimulus” money would not have been eliminated without it. Throughout the nation, proof has been provided that the 640,000 jobs claim is spurious — incorrect by tens of thousands. Yet the White House continues to stick to the blatantly dishonest claim.
