Jared Bernstein and the Recovery Act Jobs Report
White House economic advisor Jared Bernstein is critiqued for his explanation of "saved or created" jobs under the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act. The hosts mock the distinction between "direct" and "indirect" jobs, arguing that counting a teacher's shopping trips as job creation is fraudulent accounting. They label the briefing as pure propaganda from the "Ministry of Truth."
