Government workers high salaries and pensions are a major drain of State and County revenue. Its not suprising that the CBO would believe that the stimulus preserved millions of jobs. All you have to do is convince them that GM and Chrysler would shut its doors forever without government intervention and that the State's projected loss of teachers, cops, and firefighters were true. If you feed the CBO garbage its conclusions will be garbage.
