The cities were saved from laying off 24 staffers. But the punch line is that for this stimulus grant, covering 18 cities, the grand total of new jobs created was: One.

That stimulus cash is being used to buy stun guns and vans points to a larger problem. Which is that little of lasting value is being created by the most expensive piece of legislation in American history.
I wonder how prevalent this description of stimulus funding is. Since the jobs saved was added as a descriptor, it seems to have muddied the feedback - intentionally or otherwise.
