A Stimulus Penny Spent, A Job Lost
Posted on 06.10.09 by Danny Glover @ 10:08 pm

The coin collector in me loves the guy behind the Political Math videos. He doesn’t just create great visuals of how the Obama administration is wrecking the federal budget and failing to “save” the economy; he also collects the old “wheat” pennies from the piles.

The latest video casts light on how miserable the administration is at its own political math calculations. President Obama told the country that Congress had to spend nearly a trillion dollars, and now, to stimulate the economy and “save or create” millions of jobs. Congress spent the money, but far more jobs disappeared than predicted.

While the math in the video is arguably a little off, the Obama team’s math is far worse. It sounds like they went to the Ma & Pa Kettle School Of Cipherin’.

The video storyteller behind Political Math is going to need all of those pennies, including the ones with wheat ears, and then some if the next four years goes like Obama’s first few months.
