The “Saved or Created” Farce Illustrated
By Rizzuto

Fri Oct 30, 2009 - Here’s a story to illustrate the rediculousness of the White House stimulus spin on the unemployment numbers:

A 300 pound man walks into his doctors office for his yearly checkup. After a thorough goings-over, the doctor says to the man, “Sir, you need to lose weight if you wish to remain healthy.” Of course, the man agrees and promises the doctor he will immediately start a diet.

Exactly one year passes and the man finds himself back in the doctors office again. When he gets on the scale he tips it at 320lbs. The doctor says. “Sir, you’ve gained 20 pounds, I thought you were going to go on a diet.” To which the man responds, “I did lose weight doctor, if I hadn’t gone on that diet, I would have weighed 340 pounds.”


Thanks to Ryan Ellis at Americans for Tax Reform for inspiring this.
