The Obama Administration continues its campaign of transparency and competence with their wonderfully transparent web site, Recovery.gov.
At this web site you can discover so many miraculous things. Take our state of Colorado. To date I can think of only 7 congressmen and women to represent us in our nation’s capital. Until today, I thought we had 7 congressional districts. I live in no. 6 for example.
But wait, there’s more to the story. If you go to Recovery.gov you will discover new parts of Colorado you knew nothing about. According to this web site, we have 64 congressmen to dominate the debates on capital hill. And these 64 congressmen have sure brought home the bacon.
Lets take Colorado’s 8 th congressional district. The name of our congressman escapes me but he has done yeoman’s work in saving or creating jobs. Our 8 th CD rep has created three jobs in his district. It cost us $731,206 per job but hey who’s counting. Way to go congressman!
The Congressman over at the 30 th Congressional district also got us working again. This congressman who shall be unnamed and in a secure undisclosed location, saved or created 14 jobs and he did it on the cheap. It only cost us $77,554 per job. Must be blue collar jobs over at the 30 th C.D.
The grand champion for getting us cheap jobs goes to Colorado’s 64 th Congressional District Rep. Now what’s his name again? It’ll come to me in a minute. The 64 th C.D. rep bagged 14 jobs and it only cost us $2,371 apiece. I guess they haven’t heard of the minimum wage over in the 64th.
All of this wonderful competence comes to us from the people that will now give us Obamacare. I’d have second thoughts about getting an injection from these folks.I have saved a pdf of the recovery.gov page in case it somehow vaporizes.
What a country!
