Federal Agency's Claims of Jobs Saved by Stimulus Were 'Unclear and Misleading,' Says Inspector General
 |
| American Recovery & Reinvestment Act |
January 6, 2011
(CNSNews.com) - The Small Business Administration, which received $730 million under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to increase the availability of credit to small businesses, is making claims about the number of "jobs saved" that are “unclear” and “misleading” and which cannot be verified, according to a report issued by the agency’s inspector general.
“The lack of a definition for ‘jobs retained’ and the discrepancy in the forms used to collect job statistics from 7(a) borrowers and lenders has resulted in a performance metric with questionable clarity and transparency,” the inspector general said.
Under the Recovery Act, the SBA is required to report job creation and retention statistics in its monthly Recovery Act Program Performance Report, which is published on its Web site.
Neither of SBA’s two major loan programs, known as the 7(a) program and the 504 loan program, require loan recipients to tell the government whether those loans helped them to create or save jobs, the IG noted. But the banks and financial institutions that loan out the money do require small businesses to state on their loan applications how many employees they have.
From this data, lenders determine the number of jobs created and retained and send the information to SBA. According to the inspector general, however, only one of the programs asks on its application about how many job are to be saved -- the 504 program.
“In the 504 loan program, where job creation and retention is a program criteria, applicants are required to report the number of current employees, jobs to be created in the next 2 years, and jobs to be retained because of the loan,” the IG report said.
Applicants for the 7(a) program, however, are only required to report on their application the number of employees at the time of application and the number of employees “if [the] loan is approved.”
“In SBA’s Recovery Act Program Performance Report, the same term is effectively used to describe total employment in the 7(a) program and jobs at risk of being lost in the 504 program, which results in unclear and misleading reporting,” the IG report noted.
Because the SBA hasn't defined for lenders what constitutes “jobs saved” for the 7(a) program, “lenders are generally reporting all existing jobs at the applicant’s business as ‘jobs retained,’” the report noted.
The inspector general report was based on audited information provided by banks and financial institutions on 30 loans made under each program in 2009.
Top 10 Examples of Liberal Hate
Top 10 Examples of Liberal Hate
by Human Events - 1.11.2011
Even before details were clear about the Arizona shooting, Left-wingers tried to assess blame for the tragedy to Sarah Palin, the Tea Party, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and the Second Amendment.
(1) Palin Derangement Syndrome: The Left’s obsessive hatred of Sarah Palin is well-chronicled and is often accompanied by violent rhetoric. Let these three examples suffice: (1) Keith Halloran, a New Hampshire Democratic candidate, said on a Facebook thread that he wished Palin had been aboard the Alaska plane that crashed, killing five including Sen. Ted Stevens; (2) Another New Hampshire Democrat, Timothy Horrigan resigned from the state legislature after writing this gem on Facebook: "Well a dead Palin wd be even more dangerous than a live one . . . she is all about her myth & if she was dead she cldn't commit any more gaffes"; and (3) foul-mouthed comedian Sandra Bernhard warned Palin she would be "gang-raped by my big black brothers" if she tried coming to New York.
(2) Obama packing heat: Barack Obama has repeatedly sprinkled his political campaigning with words more appropriate to a street thug than the President of the United States. During his 2008 campaign he said in June, “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” and in September, “I want you to go out and talk to your neighbors. . . . I want you to argue with them, get in their faces.” He kept it up during the recent midterm election with this comment: “If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, ‘We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends . . . .”
(3) Courtland Milloy’s spit wish: Washington Post columnist Courtland Milloy said that after the health care vote he wanted to spit on and assault Tea Party members: “I know how the ‘tea party’ people feel, the anger, venom and bile that many of them showed during the recent House vote on health care reform. I know because I want to spit on them, take one of their ‘Obama Plan White Slavery’ signs and knock every racist and homophobic tooth out of their Cro-Magnon heads.”
(4) Krugman’s flip flop: New York Times columnist Paul Krugman was first out of the box connecting the Arizona shooting to Right-wing speech that created a climate of hate, intoning, “the purveyors of hate have been treated with respect, even deference, by the GOP establishment.” He must have forgotten his own words in December 2009 during the health care debate when he wrote, “A message to progressives: By all means, hang Senator Joe Lieberman in effigy.”
(6) Daily Kos’ hypocrisy: Markos Moulitsas, of the liberal Daily Kos, was also quick to indict the Right for the Arizona tragedy, tweeting that Sarah Palin had “accomplished her mission,” a reference to her midterm elections bulls-eye target of politicians that included Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. However, his Daily Kos website blog also included Gifford's district on a list of congressional districts "bulls-eyed" for primary challenges. And just last week, the website included a post declaring that Giffords was “dead to him” after she voted against Nancy Pelosi as speaker of the House.
(7) Exterminate Republicans: This is what passes for a theater review in the Village Voice: Michale Feingold, while reviewing the play "King Cowboy Rufus Rules the Universe," wrote: "Republicans don't believe in the imagination, partly because so few of them have one, but mostly because it gets in the way of their chosen work, which is to destroy the human race and the planet. Human beings, who have imaginations, can see a recipe for disaster in the making; Republicans, whose goal in life is to profit from disaster and who don't give a hoot about human beings, either can't or won't. Which is why I personally think they should be exterminated before they cause any more harm."
(8) Hang Drudge: Liberal talk radio host Mike Malloy suggested stringing up Internet king Matt Drudge, saying, "Drudge? Aw, Drudge, somebody ought to wrap a strong Republican entrail around his neck and hoist him up about 6 feet in the air and watch him bounce.”
(9) Outright assaults: Sometimes the hatred on the Left exceeds talk and escalates to violent assaults. Cases in point: In August 2009, members of the Service Employees International Union beat up Kenneth Gladney for distributing "Don't Tread On Me" flags at a Missouri town hall meeting. In June 2010, Nathan Tabor was punched in the face by a Democrat during a Tea Party protest in North Carolina. Last October, Human Events reporter Emily Miller was physically assaulted while interviewing Rep. Charlie Rangel during the “One Nation Working Together” rally at the National Mall in Washington.
(10) Greenpeace "knows where you live": Greenpeace advocated mass civil disobedience last April with this blog item on its website:“The proper channels have failed. It's time for mass civil disobedience to cut off the financial oxygen from denial and skepticism. . . . If you're one of those who have spent their lives undermining progressive climate legislation, bankrolling junk science, fueling spurious debates around false solutions, and cattle-prodding democratically elected governments into submission, then hear this: We know who you are. We know where you live. We know where you work.”

Even before details were clear about the Arizona shooting, Left-wingers tried to assess blame for the tragedy to Sarah Palin, the Tea Party, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and the Second Amendment.
When it became clear that the gunman was a deranged lunatic whose political philosophy was more in tune with the loony Left than the Tea Party, liberals continued to cry out against a so-called climate of hate perpetuated by Right-wingers. Perhaps those making that charge have forgotten the hatefulness and violent words coming from their own. Here are the Top 10 Examples of Liberal Hate.
(1) Palin Derangement Syndrome: The Left’s obsessive hatred of Sarah Palin is well-chronicled and is often accompanied by violent rhetoric. Let these three examples suffice: (1) Keith Halloran, a New Hampshire Democratic candidate, said on a Facebook thread that he wished Palin had been aboard the Alaska plane that crashed, killing five including Sen.

(5) Bush Derangement Syndrome: Before it fades into history, the liberal hatred of President Bush should be recalled. Codepink, Michael Moore, rap stars and Hollywood comedians hurled vitriol against the President. A movie was made about his assassination. But as an example of violent rhetoric, special attention should be given to remarks made by New York State Comptroller Alan Hevesi, who later apologized for describing fellow Democrat Sen. Charles Schumer as "the man who, how do I phrase this diplomatically, who will put a bullet between the President's eyes if he could get away with it."
(6) Daily Kos’ hypocrisy: Markos Moulitsas, of the liberal Daily Kos, was also quick to indict the Right for the Arizona tragedy, tweeting that Sarah Palin had “accomplished her mission,” a reference to her midterm elections bulls-eye target of politicians that included Rep.

1963 Communist Goals for America = 2011 Reality
 |
| There is nothing "Progressive" about Socialism. |
Extension of the Remarks of Honorable A.S. Herlong, Jr.
of Florida in the U.S. House of Representatives
Entered into the Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35 ._1. on Thursday, January 10, 1963
Mr. HERLONG [said:] a. "Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.
At Mrs. Nordman's request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following "Current Communist Goals," which she identifies as an excerpt from "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen:.
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative toatomic war. [Some of these goals have become policy.]
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war. [Surrendering without a fight]
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament of the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites. [Use our own taxes to achieve these self-destructive goals!]
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the US has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths. [ Judges (#16) and elected officials (#15) who destroy the Constitution can be charged with perjury but after that the only charge left is treason.]
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office. [surrender US ingenuity & void all protections.]
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States. [ These Congressmen, McCain R-AZ Feingold D-WI; Shays R-CT Meehan D-MA, & their advisors via campaign finance reform would cripple the 1st Amendment's free speech & undermine the US Constitution!] [ 40,000,000 abortions have killed more American children than all wars combined!]
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights. [The 'technical' civil rights of a student minority of one! see (#28)][Everson has been cited in 6000 cases since 1947!]
17. Get control of the schools _b. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. [Dumbing Down = Goals 2000] Get control of teachers' associations. [PTA] Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy making positions. [textbook press _c.]
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures. [The media reeks of these goals and the 'party lines'.]
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms." [Produce & promote 'degrading & obscene' MUSIC, cartoons & movies to harm our children.] [#21 & #23]
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art." [NEA]
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press. [ACLU & ALA in public & school libraries encourage obscenity to harm our children.][Schools should not be free speech zones.]
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV. [ textbooks]['Break down [family] standards of morality'] [MTV, cable & "R" rated trash.]
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy." [Condom & prostitution based Sex Ed. vs. abstinence which is ALWAYS 100% effective.] [Who needs biological warfare agents when deadly plagues like HIV-AIDs & incurable STD's are so easy to proliferate, so easy to destroy physically, mentally & spiritually.] [ diversity = perversity.]
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch." [i.e. destroy God's vision for his children.]
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state." [ This was a reality after the Court perjurously invented the "separation of church and state" in Everson v Bd. Ed 1947. Note: Engel v. Vitale, 82 S. Ct.1261 (1962) & Schempp, 374 U.S. 203 (1963), see (#16)] c., d.
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over. [#29 & #30]
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc. [ e.g. the unconstitutional Federal Dept. of Education, funding, et. al.]
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities. [Make anti-American, white collar terrorism & perjury OK!]
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions. [Most of the NEA & AFT policies are anti child, anti parent & anti family.]
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business. [Is it a stretch to think that a $40 Billion company like Disney which owns ABC (#20; #21;#25), promotes "Gay Days"(#26) and Domestic Partner Benefits (#26; #40) would expect families to attend their theme parks and buy their products & stocks?] [Consider: the NFL which funds the United Way which funds homosexuals & pedophiles (#26) which infiltrate schools, businesses & Boy Scouts!][Yahoo.com (#26)] [ Sacrificing our kids for career & money!] ['Infiltrate and gain control of' associations (#17): AARP, AMA, ABarA, NOW, APA (#39 ; #41),PFAW, etc.]
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand. [HHS - HRS kidnap children from parents without due process.]
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals. [Ex-Surgeon General J. Elders wanted to make illegal drugs legal & fry our children's brains.]
40. Discredit the family d. as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce. [no fault!] [The divorced child's sense of security is diminished and harmed for the rest of his life.]
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents. [Corrupt parental: authority, possession & rights. (#39.)]
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use united force to solve economic, political or social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over nations and individuals alike." e.

Egyptian Muslims Act as "Human Shields" for Coptic Christian Mass
A STANCE IN THE FACE OF TYRANNY!
Many in the West call out the Muslim World for not standing up to maniacal, homicide bombers. These fanatics are faithfully reported by the mainstream news as being in the extreme minority. However, the silence of the so called peaceful majority in the face of these attacks had been deafening. Until now. Here's one such act of love and courage that the West was calling for and should be lauded, in the land of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Egyptian Muslims Act as Human Shields
by Ashley Samuelson McGuire - Washington Post
"I know it might not be safe, yet it's either we live together, or we die together, we are all Egyptians." Such are the words one expects of great leaders on the battlefield, of politicians preparing a nation for war, of civic leaders rallying people for an inspiring cause.
But these are the words of Cherine Mohamed, a 50-year-old Egyptian housewife.
These words became a slogan of sorts for many brave Egyptian Muslims who chose yesterday to risk their lives in the wake of the New Year's violence and attend Christmas Masses with their Coptic Christian brethren, serving as human shields against further potential acts of extremist violence on the Christian holy day.

Forget Them Not!
Whether or not you agree with the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, there is no question that the defenders of liberty who give their lives there deserve our respect and honor. In that spirit, I pass on the excellent observation below, from an anonymous source:
Lindsay Lohan, 24, and Paris Hilton have gotten their names and faces all over the news because they spent a few days or weeks in jail for acting out negative behavior, resisting arrest, cocaine possession, and being drunk and disorderly in public .. not to mention their insolent attitudes.
So what do you know about these men?

Brett Linley, 29
Matthew Weikert, 29
Justus Bartett, 27
Dave Santos , 21
Chase Stanley, 21
Jesse Reed, 26
Matthew Johnson, 21
Zachary Fisher, 24
Brandon King, 23
Christopher Goeke, 23
Sheldon Tate, 27
Don't recognize their names? Well I can tell you none of them starred in a movie or made a record album, hit a home run or did a celebration in the end zone after scoring a touchdown. And none of them bragged about showcasing their talents for their fans while being paid millions and millions of dollars.
Give up? Then I should tell you they were all Marines who gave their lives for us this past week. They died for honor and for country. They're all heroes of the highest magnitude.No, you read nothing about them in the news, because they weren't newsworthy, but you can honor them as I do by forwarding this. It's a small sacrifice on our part, compared to theirs.
Thank you.
