RECOVERY.GOV: The Government Website Charged with Reporting Fraud is its Very Own Worst Offender

Nov. 17th

$6 Million Used to Create 6 Jobs in South Carolina’s 16th Imaginary Congressional District

After learning that the U.S. Government’s own website that was designed to report potential waste, fraud, and abuse of so-called stimulus funds was its very own example of fraud and abuse, Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) released the following statement:

“The government website charged with reporting waste, fraud, and abuse is its very own worst offender.

“I know we have been asking this Administration to show us the jobs, but this isn’t what we had in mind. According to Recovery.gov, $3 million couldn’t even produce a single job in South Carolina’s 43rd imaginary Congressional District.

“While I’m confident that the Administration will correct the errors on the website in a timely manner, I sincerely hope they also listen to Republican ideas to jump start America’s economy by creating real jobs for hardworking American families,” said Congressman Joe Wilson.
