House Minority Leader John Boehner received a sharply worded rebuttal today to his complaints that the Obama administration is using misleading and inaccurate job numbers to promote its stimulus package.
G. Edward DeSeve, who coordinates the day-to-day implementation of the Recovery Act, sarcastically agreed that the oft-quoted 640,000 figure for jobs saved or created is “not the best representation.” But not the way Boehner suggests.
Rather than inflated, DeSeve says it “only reflects a portion of what the Act has done.”...
Boehner just continues to try to find fault with everything from this administration. It is amazing he never complained when President Bush was in office.
