That's the...I hear ya, SF - you did well! :-)<br /><br />That's the thing - abt the "saved" jobs - now a university in CA is saying the jobs the Feds counted were never in jeopardy in the FIRST place. They are just padding their numbers wherever they can. It is pathetic.<br /><br />There was a really good discussion abt this on America's Newsroom this morning, but they take a while to get their videos up, and I had to go to an app't. Anyway - they take a more critical look at these numbers compared to ABC's "Oh, gee - wonder what happened??"<br /><br />What the hell has happened to journalism?!?!?!<br /><br />Anywho - good effort listening to Boo! :-DRabble Rouser Reverend Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14965609706204555067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208401365281331903.post-61223035519777185492009-11-17T12:49:34.417-05:002009-11-17T12:49:34.417-05:00Rev, I just couldn't get past the first 10 sec...Rev, I just couldn't get past the first 10 seconds of Boo and his shout-outs. I wanted to, really I did, but...<br /><br />Love that ABC questioned the numbers, but I do so long for the days when a reporter would actually <i>investigate</i> what they were told. Human error? Well gosh, maybe we should investigate and uncover the truth!<br /><br />And wouldn't you think that before the administration put UP those numbers, they'd verify them? Nah, I guess not. Just toss under the bus the people who DID put up the numbers, right? It's all THEIR fault.<br /><br />I do have one question, though. What exactly is a "saved" job? Is there a place on the reports that asks, "how many people were you going to fire but didn't?"<br /><br />On a completely different note, how nice would it have been for "philanthropist" Bill Gates to have used some of his billions of dollars to help save even a few of the 5800 jobs at Microsoft, the company that made him one of the richest men in the world?
