Biden says Recovery Act is on track
Published: July 30, 2010 at 2:35 PM
WASHINGTON, July 30 (UPI) -- Vice President Joe Biden said Friday the 2009 Recovery Act had saved or created 750,000 jobs in the second quarter, the highest quarterly total to date.
"This record number reflects the early impact of our surge in projects across the country as part of "Recovery Summer," Biden said in a statement.
He said the 750,000 jobs were the result of $80 billion in federal spending, 17 percent of the $787 billion package.
Biden said the reporting on the jobs was "not perfect or complete," but the stimulus spending was on track to save or create 3.5 million jobs.
The government's figures were supported by independent studies done by economists Mark Zandi and Alan Blinder, he said.

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat when the realization hits me that Joe Bite-me is a heartbeat away from the presidency. But then I calm down and fall back to sleep when I remember that this would be an improvement over the undocumented Muslim currently holding the office.
The time for honoring yourself will soon be at an end , Joe Biden.
When the Bush tax cuts expire and the economy implodes, you won’t have Bush to blame.
Its just not working out as planned. The recovery was supposed to be this summer, that is why a lot of the spending was set for the spring, and was meant to give the dems a running start into November.
Just not working out, sad so very sad.
Is your report available anywhere on line?
Hmmm... let's see... $80,000,000,000 divided by 750,000 jobs is $106,666.66/job.
We'd be a whole lot better off just letting those 750,000 collect unemployment for the rest of their lives. /s
Of course, I can’t reveal that.
But I will point to a similar study but some really smart people. Not Zandi, Summers, Hogwoman (Romer) or the others.
On Monday. I am in Tokyo at the moment. Will send when I return to the States on Monday.
“Back on the sauce?” When was he ever off?
Can I have the names and phone numbers for those 750,000 people. I will call them all and verify.

This will stir up some people, but I’m actually looking forward to the economy going belly up. Perhaps when it all comes crashing down, the true believers will wake up.
JUST WONDERING How did the admin arrive at $20 billion without the benefit of a full investigation of the causes and without a final solution for the problem? How come the $20B agreement between Ohaha and BP was not published?
WH Meeting with BP executives in the Roosevelt Room; taken and released June 16.
(L-R): BP CEO Tony Hayward, BP Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg, BP General Counsel Rupert Bondy, BP Managing Director Robert Dudley, Senior Obama Advisor Valerie Jarrett, Labor Secy Hilda Solis, Attorney General Eric Holder, Biden, Obama and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. Rahm Emanuel also attended.
=================================
The buzz is Joe Biden was tapped as the point man----and reportedly told BP---"you give us $20B or we'll take it from you." Biden is the person to watch like a hawk w/ $20B campaign funds floating around.
Keep in mind Ohaha put Biden in charge of the $2 trillion stimulus pkg and that millions in stimulus are being hidden in the states for endangered Dems (unused portions then wire-transferred offshore to numbered accounts?) Read on.
Offshore fraudster had links to fund run by relatives of Biden

EXCERPT --- A fund of hedge funds run by two members of VP Joe Biden's family was marketed exclusively by firms controlled by Texas financier Allen Stanford, charged by regulators with an $8 billion fraud, the Wall Street Journal said.
The $50 million fund was jointly branded between the Bidens' Paradigm Global Advisors LLC and a Stanford Financial Group entity, and was known as the Paradigm Stanford Capital Management Core Alternative Fund, the paper said.
Stanford-related companies marketed the fund to investors and also invested about $2.7 million of their own money in the fund, the paper said, citing a lawyer for Paradigm.
Paradigm Global Advisors is owned through a holding company by the vice president's son, Hunter, and Joe Biden's brother, James, according to the paper. Paradigm's attorney, Marc LoPresti, who represents Hunter Biden and James Biden, as well as Paradigm, told the paper he did not know which Stanford entity invested the roughly $2.7 million. He told the paper the Bidens never met or communicated with Stanford.
My numbers might be a bit low ;-)
Uh huh-—my thoughts, too.
It's STILL secret? I had no idea.
