Stimulus—is there anything it can't do? Reader Prolefeed sends along this tasty morsel of roasted pig from Obama's home state, via Hawaii Reporter and Grassroot Institute of Hawaii:
Hawaii received $2,284,000 million of federal stimulus funds for the 11the Congressional district, $40,903,941 million for the 15th Congressional district, $1,651,811 for the "00" Congressional district, and $799,656 in the 99th congressional district creating a combined "3.4" jobs or $13,423,355 per job, according to the federal government’s transparency web site for stimulus funds, according to Recovery.gov.
However, Hawaii has just two congressional districts, 1 and 2.
And because it's Thanksgiving and we don't have very much to be thankful for, here's quite possibly the greatest clip ever related to Hawaii:
And the best clip ever related to stimulus spending:

You'd think they could at least give us the credit that we'd realize Hawaii didn't have 99 congressional districts.

"$2,284,000 million"
This is 2.284 trillion dollars, a quarter of the US GDP. I don't think it got this much.

The 15th got 40 trillion. I know every president throws their home state a little extra, but wow.

"Hawaii received $2,284,000 million of federal stimulus funds"
Over two trillion dollars? Who worked out this deal, Dr. Evil?

Joe Biden's doing a bang up job tracking the stimulus spending and keeping us informed.

There was a guy on the radio a few days ago who was running for Congress in one of the magical nonexistent districts. Would be funny to see a movement or site dedicated to non-candidates running in nonexistent districts all over the US.

Talking about passing along bad information. Did the Hawaii Reporter mis-report the trillions or just the Grassroots Institute?
