In Arizona's 15th congressional district, 30 jobs have been saved or created with just $761,420 in federal stimulus spending. At least that's what the Web site set up by the Obama administration to track the stimulus says. There's one problem, There is no 15th congressional district. Rep. David Obey, D-Wisc, issued a statement demanding that the recovery.gov Web site be updated. Do you trust these same people to run your health care?

    Last month the unemployment rate fell to 8.3%. This sounds like progress in the economy, right? Well maybe not...The unemployment rate counts only people who don't have a job and are looking for one. Once you stop looking, you're no longer considered unemployed. People who have taken early retirement or just stopped looking for work have caused the employment numbers to look better than they really are. This is also known as Shrinkage...Howie wondered how many people have given up.

Visit online at long auto dot com or in person on route nine in south -- today's poll questioned one of the results thus far.

Do you think Sarah Palin is running for president in 2012. Though I don't. Well 67%. Think oh yes she is well.

I hope she is but I don't I don't think she yes I think she's -- I think she's gonna get pretty used to -- heaven and heaven and nice life without. A lot of the problems. That that that confront them all Republican candidates anywhere as opposed to democratic candidates who could drive drunk and get driven home by cops and forget where there. There they live the end I think it driven to a second house so you should see this police report for us senator blue chip will get to a little bit later. There's also new news on the the the illegal alien reports that does being issued by the state today I guess it's on immigrants in general but the the focus seems to be on illegal aliens. We told you yesterday about the the proposal. Resurrected yet again to give free tuition. Is what it amounts to two illegal aliens from around the world whether they've graduated from Massachusetts high schools are not. But something else in there that's a pretty.

Odious in my view would now would be the proposal to give illegal aliens driver's licenses and that will be talking more about that in the next hour with representative Jeff Perry. From the -- he's a former police officer a lot of police officers out there listening know just how bad this problem as I go I think everyone who -- The police blotter in Vietnam politically correct newspapers -- should just say be beat -- newspapers that report arrests. As they come and not just the arrest that they. They he had the editors -- not offend certain. Politically protected groups even if their core politically protected even if there in the country illegally. We know how bad the problem is with illegal aliens striving -- you know what makes you think that what makes these liberals think that illegal aliens are gonna get driver's licenses anyway. Mean if they get a driver's license in the going to be but more likely to have to buy. Automobile insurance and inspection stickers and all those kind of they're not used to buy in any of that stuff. They don't -- everything free and America will talk more about that. In a little while 18774694322. With.

This is this is amazing this this latest for -- from the the Obama administration. Now remember these -- guy it's. Who have told you that today. Can run the health care system may be no better than physicians and insurance companies and health care professionals how to run. The nation's health care system and not only do they know how to run -- they know how to save billions and trillions of dollars as they do what do will be more efficient wants a government takes over -- the post office right.

You're referring to Joe Biden.

Joe Biden. What do what do mean Joe Barr sang when you say these guys is -- one of these guys here referring to -- talking about all these guys are talking about all these guys important about the Obama administration in general -- rock on down -- well no I'm just thinking Joe Biden's motorcade -- make it across town and having an accident whether he's run a car not these days it was like -- and a month. Yeah it's more than its course of the month but believe I think it's about two weeks or week it Buddy -- again that's like that's on the Internet. But you know I gonna see anything about them on the on the network newscast right that they with the if it would George Bush's motorcade there was a running people down or Dick Cheney east. You would never hear the end of it does the I thought I could -- Dick Cheney ager shot that guy in the face last week the way of starlets go on TV all the time. But anyway I just wanted to mention this is -- is the stimulus program we can we all agree now I was supposed to stop. The unemployment rate from increasing above eight point 5% unemployment now stands at ten point 2%. And they are saying that it is still going to go up further. So we have the stimulus program it's not doing any there was a story even even the Boston Globe a wholly owned subsidiary of the Democratic Party. A wholly -- money hemorrhaging subsidiary of the Democratic Party. Even they had to admit last week that they had made up all kinds of phony chops that the that the that that all these jobs -- work -- saved that you they weren't saved or they they were given they were just using him to give up pay raises. In some cases they didn't even get any money. And they still said that they had they had -- created or saved jobs. So now ABC new clues. Failure of the globe is the only paper that -- mr. fox just ran a map of all the different states worth of newspapers have exposed -- several several really big states. Texas they've been fake in the numbers. Pennsylvania. They've been faking the numbers and of course Massachusetts I think separate other states too and this is just one -- papers have. I have tried to do something. So anyway ABC news has now come up with the they they went to the website. They have they they now have a website believe it or not. The recovery dot gov.

Website it was established as part of the stimulus bill to Foster greater accountability and transparency in the use of money spent through the stimulus. Program they spent eighteen million dollars on this on this website recovery dot gov. This is ABC news here's the stimulus success story for you. In Arizona's fifteenth congressional district thirty jobs have been saved or created with just 761000. Dollars in federal stimulus spending. At least that's what the web site set up by the Obama administration to track the 787. Billion dollar stimulus sets. There's one problem however there is no fifteenth congressional district and Arizona State has only eight districts. And ABC news has found many more entries for projects like this in places that are in correctly identified. Representative David -- Democrat Wisconsin chairs the powerful House Appropriations Committee. Demands. That the recovery dot gov website be updated this is a Democrat that committee chairman. The inaccuracies on recovery dot governor of calm polite are outrageous in the administration -- itself the congress and every American a commitment to work night and day. To correct the ludicrous the sticks how often they use the word ludicrous I mean -- probably should use a lot more often. But especially a Democrat accusing his own administration of making ludicrous mistakes but -- read you some of these mistakes Ludacris is if anything an understatement. In Oklahoma recovery dot gov lists more than nineteen million in spending and fifteen jobs created in yet more congressional districts that don't exist. In Iowa it shows ten point six million spent at 39 jobs created in nonexistent districts. In Connecticut's 42 district now come as a big shock. To all the residents of the Nutmeg state another you have 42. Congressional districts. In Connecticut's forty to 42 district the web site claims. 25 jobs created -- zero stimulus dollars boy that's quite an accomplishment. 68 million dollars spent to and then then does 72 million dollars spent in the first congressional district of the Virgin Islands. Which of course is modest. Eight it's a territory don't have any congressional districts. But they also have eight point four million dollars being spent and forty jobs created in the 980 ninth congressional district. Of the Virgin Islands but ninety ninth congressional district of the Virgin Islands. One point five million spent and 13 of a job created in the sixty ninth district. Of the Northern Mariana Islands.

A third of a job created under with one point five million dollars that's pretty good that again these other guys who tell you.

They could manage health care there won't be any problems.

There are they already won a doorway with that the that the frequency they wanna change the frequency of mammograms for women. They want women to start getting mammograms later. And they talk about the stuff just them that's their wallets it's got part of her -- harbored and I'm in debt from medical study in mind -- national health care but it's --

this is the kind of medical studies were gonna get sandy once this starts this is this is the opening these -- the opening salvos of national health care it's going to get war since they were gonna have the same situation. As in the United Kingdom here. 47 million dollars spent and 291. Jobs created in Puerto Rico's 980 ninth congressional district. Who don't know Puerto Rico has my 89 congressman.

Pretty scary out these other guys they wanna they may want to take over your healthcare. They can't they can't you know not only are they screwing up the stimulus program they can't even come up. With eight web site true. Credibly law I. About the number of districts secret they can't even whole why -- straight.

About how. The the unemployment rate one reason it's staying so high is they keep adding all these weeks onto the unemployment you know it's it's it's supposedly a measure of our great compassion -- a government. But people are just being encouraged to just take more more unemployment that fewer people around looking for jobs now because the unemployment. It benefits continue Ferrari and in some places apparently now you can get two years of unemployment benefits. 18774694322.

Other politicians are just dropped. He's represented by the way by senator Dellucci -- We also issued a challenge sandy said my state senator meaning Dellucci joke can -- drink your state senator meaning Scott Brown.

You go but go -- up against any true state senators and and there are some people who will take a drink under extreme social pressure in that body. And I don't think you could I don't think any two people could out drink a Lucci all the way he's -- government. 18774694322. John your next with how we cargo ahead John.

They -- December out 2007. -- the recession started I lost like 40% of my 401K I don't have that back. And then shot look at the stock market you never mention the stock market. What is doing good ball you have a feature some big -- that the best you can do the president would.

Real life. No real -- the automatic jobs don't matter anymore John is evil and.

People got off their car went out and got a the dealing only eight people should know split -- bomb like there's enough Republicans doing the same thing.

And our guys Republicans at home but mainly Democrats John it's people don't Obama -- heavily. And you heard the other woman down in Orlando she said Obama was gonna buyer gasoline pay for our house the people in Detroit said the same thing. John the stock mark I thought that's just rich Republicans Democrats most of home by the way aero limousine liberal problem pure Ki moon bats or. Once they're getting they're getting rich off this federal money to this stimulus money -- you should be against this -- you know this is money that could be going to illegal aliens who wanna move next door you put their house -- Derek are up on blocks. And have 52 people move then these are these of the people. But that are gonna make the Democratic Party the majority party for the next generation John jet with that Janet and I got.

I've said nothing that was untrue -- you're out of your mind if you think the other stock market has any relation to reality today it's it that's another Ponzi scheme that's colony won its still on the market. Has has got oh be. As as loaded as the opening -- GO on any given day of a -- 18774694322. On how Lloyd Carr.

Pay no attention to the seventeen point 5% that's what it's up to now the real unemployment rate people of dropped out and people who can do I have just lost their jobs. Seventeen point 5% but it's great it's great just ask any of the people in the sixth congressional district of New Hampshire about. 42 congressional district of Connecticut -- they. 62 -- that congressional district of the northern marianas silence. 18774694322. This is from the -- were being you know he's the economist who. Mention who -- predicted the -- disaster. That occurred in the the economy. Think the worst is over long conditions in the US labor markets are awful and worsening. While the official unemployment rate is now ten point 2% and another 200000 jobs were lost -- October when you include discouraged workers and partially employed workers to figure is a whopping. Seventeen point 5%. 'cause I hope and change working California. Well losing 200000 jobs per month is better than the 700000. Jobs lost in January current job loss is still average more than the per month raid of a 150000. During the last recession. Wait a second. Soul. When we have the last recession on George Bush's watch they were losing a 150000. Jobs a month and that was. The end of times were told by the mainstream media now hole we're losing it 200000 jobs a month in the recessions over. The same moon bats in the media tell us. So we can expect the job losses will continue until the end of 2010 at the earliest in other words if you were unemployed and looking for work in just waiting for the economy to turn the corner. You had better hunkered down. All the economic numbers suggest this will take awhile the jobs just are not coming back. All the more reason to move to the fifteenth district of Arizona where the stimulus program is working well just -- Barack Obama's. Economists. -- your next with how -- cargo ahead gem.

They you know first -- believe that guide he just recovered 40% and then some it BL OG the only guy I know all that got the back this quickly.

No I'm I'm ball more I'm. I'm with a few thousand B and even but I did 50% of my money in bonds and and money markets you know I mean -- all your money in stocks there's no what did he give you can't it's not it's not possible. The market was it was 14000. In 2007 now what's 10400. Write a minute I checked it can't come back all the way now.

And yet they get here you can't -- shot a little bit but you know 888 -- typical electric Democrat but. -- there's more accurate reflection what Americans are certain number of Americans. Only care about and that is bullish -- I was not working out what the president you know we talk about the president kicking butt.

Did not look at anything except the bottom line it's just amazing indeed these people don't see what else to go all.

Well I you know the thing is do you think he's kicked him but I mean I he he's getting his butt kicked dorm by AA his buddies being kicked around the world -- I mean that he that he's bending over you know himself to get it checked out.

Believe that's been that the -- confident -- anybody else not all about it. It's not all about how much money you have Erica out the end of the Dell. This country -- you do.

Jim it's also not about what they say on MSNBC your CNBC. You know I know vote of the most of the paid half a -- of the Democratic Party. I know what they're in the Charles.

The country's -- people like that didn't he he just -- you. And becoming sort I think to myself. You know -- I've -- think you're gonna turn quickly be dead -- out. You know reasonable -- quickly went the other way but there are people like that in this country. If and it's just amazing to -- debt that you know that that people are actually -- like this but what I would get up.

It's it's forty years of television and public education and political correctness and the war on poverty. And it's issues not the same country that once was I mean it's just been it its -- beaten out from from inside and you know you wonder you wonder what happened now if there was Leo World War -- I mean we saw what happened after 9/11 I mean the country's -- held together for what about. About a year. And the the Democrats turned them though look what's happened since then. 18774694322. Kathy your next with how -- cargo ahead --

I am just calling it we catch you up. The conversation about having government health care plan yes. I -- lost 12000 -- a year from my medical insurance. And -- deductible that I can't cope they had a high and I still don't want the government running my insurance. Whatever you --

whatever however bad it is now the government can only make things worse.

I don't work and -- public office. And I had seen it down from Canada they have can't treatment tip because the wait so long they -- tips on how well these people could be dead six on. And that they do it over in Europe take over here -- treatment. People need to look at there gas prices that they have -- foreign countries and their tax rate. -- all you realize that this does it say -- that would come -- if they get what they want the government now. I did not want to arrive at this heated discussion. That many candidates many liberals. I count remain.

Dougal truly that the liberals truly believe that they're health care is gonna be better and cheaper or they just sort of ideologues the way Barack Obama is the just just wants to. Once the destroy something that's working. However perfectly.

Great I mean they did they voted for him and I. Quite very if you column -- present. A.

Obviously I didn't vote for -- conservative. I don't believe in what you're -- old. -- it's leading health insurance. I I have a bet I've tried a bit put the welfare system. Getting. The immigrant illegal immigrants. I had illegal or not Ali hello dear I'm getting 2035 dollar -- and they are paying a dollar because it being.

no it's it's almost a hate crime in the mainstream media to mention that one reason health care costs are so high is because you have these. Tens of million they cost say twelve million I think it probably over thirty million. People here who -- or just living off everybody else then not getting dying for health care or for anything else. And that's why -- the white taxes are so high that's one reason why your co pays are so why health insurance everything is all right because 10% of the population is just here. Not not contributing anything and.

Right and even I mean illegal would try my I had about a lie or as a diehard Democrat liberal and I told races there's. He's also the welfare program. And he firmly believe that you know they have their rights act that I'm sorry. If they're being supported by my dollars while I'm working they don't need to be sitting at -- playing Nintendo.
