NEVER THOUGHT THEY'D SAY IT OUT LOUD

Number of jobs created by the stimulus package?

Completely made up:

What [Butler County, Ohio, Community Development Director Donna Everson] has more difficulty counting is the number of jobs the project will create.

It's a common complaint from local community development officials: the Obama Administration wants to see evidence that the stimulus is putting people to work, but hasn't given any guidance on how to count those jobs.

"It's totally a guess how many people it's going to take to do this," said Everson. "That's our concern with all these project estimates coming down. The regulations and rules keep changing on us."

The locals just pick a number they think the Feds want to hear

And I'm guessing that the locals aren't the only ones rounding up.
