COMMENTS: Connecticut’s Fictional 42nd
In an attempt at fiscal transparency, Barack Obama's White House has built recovery.gov, an $18m Website to track where jobs have been saved or created as a result of $787bn in federal deficit spending. ABC's Jonathan Karl checked out a feature that allows data to be searched "by state, by ZIP code and by Congressional district." He found "millions of dollars spent and jobs created in places that do not exist" like Arizona's 15th CD, Connecticut's 42nd CD--and districts in the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and the Mariana Islands that are not even represented in Congress.
