This morning I read about how American Recovery Act Spending in Minnesota was reported by the government to be going to non-existent congressional districts. So I decided to check out the website for myself and look at spending in in my own state of Ohio. Here is what I found...but first of all you must realize that Ohio has 18 congressional districts numbered 1 through 18 using the old math.
No jobs have been created in the following congressional districts in Ohio:
00, 21, 99, 87, 85, 49, 54, 20, and 56
The corresponding amount of money used to stimulate jobs in these non-existent districts total:
$5,303,915
You can check this out for yourself: http://www.recovery.gov
You may want to check out the spending for your own state.
The question is, where did this money really go? One of the purported purposes of the website is "for the reporting of potential fraud, waste, and abuse." It's time for Americans to wake up and demand that the federal government explain where this money is going.
