We find the following comments "White House officials on Tuesday dismissed criticism that its recovery act reporting efforts were riddled with inaccuracies, stressing its mistakes were "relatively few, and don't change the fundamental conclusions one can draw from the data."
In this crisis that tends to polarize individuals even the well-intended ones, BAFU USA perceives a psychological warfare creating two opposing camps; those who see the economic glass half-full and those who see the economic glass half-empty. Those who see the glass half-empty were feeding on irrelevant mistakes about the reporting of the Recovery Act and rushing to senseless conclusions about the lack of performance from the Act. At BAFU USA, we hasten to remind everyone that errors and mistakes in a report should not be the deterrent to its objectives. Facts and figures are great tools in gauging results but they are not the results. The result is the Recovery process in and of itself which is undeniably getting positive results while making great impacts on the recovering economy. Once more, we applaud the White House's officials' dismissal of irrelevant remarks that can only sidetrack the reader and sidestep the pursuit. Our President and his administration are right-on-the-money. We say at BAFU USA "No Coward Forward," so let us move ahead with such a grand plan. We agree with DeSeve's latest statement below:
"A day after reporters discovered that the White House's stimulus hub, Recovery.gov, incorrectly calculated jobs created by federal funds in congressional districts that do not actually exist, White House adviser Ed DeSeve acknowledged the errors as "frustrating."
"When you consider the sheer number of reports that had to be filed, processed, and posted; the fact that this had never been done before; and the very short time to check reports and make sure they were right – the data collected and posted is very impressive," DeSeve wrote. "Unfortunately, it would be hard to know that by reading some of what’s been written and said about recipient reporting."
"Consequently, DeSeve on Monday explained that errors are often more obvious as a result of transparency, not despite of it. He also attributed the recent string of lapses regarding congressional districts to simple human error, and he cautioned those errors in no way meant the White House was not making progress stimulating the economy."
"Critics – some well intentioned, some who just wanted to discredit the Recovery Act -- have had over two weeks to try to make hay with the data," he said. "But no criticism has come close to discrediting the larger and most important point: that the Recovery Act has helped save or create more than 1 million jobs across America and across various sectors of the economy."
We, at BAFU USA, applaud such report that brings confirmation to the efficiency of the Stimulus package as an intricate part of the Recovery Act. This is just another way to say BAFU "Bounce Back America From Unemployment." For more information about BAFU HONOR TO THOSE WHO SUPPORT JOBS CREATION, click here.
