“Created or Saved”

Obama’s “created or saved” line (referring to jobs created or saved as a result of the stimulus package) received a fair amount of attention because, for one thing, how can one really quantify the amount of jobs saved?
More importantly, however, is the lack of oversight after handing out these grants. It may seem, at first glance, very expensive to check up on all of the grant recipients to ensure that they are spending the money as they said they would, specifically to “create or save” jobs, however after looking at all the money that was given out only to be spent for other things or simply just pocketed, its clear that the cost of oversight would have saved the American taxpayers, well, millions.
Thanks Obama, you’re doing a fucking swell job.
