'White House Caught Altering Stimulus Baseline Projection by 7 Million Jobs

Excerpt from BigGovernment.com

This year 11-year old Jane’s class is studying money and budgets. In September every student wrote down their savings, and what they wanted in savings by the end of school in June. Jane started with $134, but wants to do better and have $137 ($3 more) saved by year’s end. She figures that will be easy, since she will get birthday money in a few months. But now it’s late May, and Jane has only $130, because she spent her birthday money, and then some. What should Jane do in her final report on the savings project?

1.Be honest and admit she didn’t reach her goals of $3 more in savings, totaling $137, due to her spending habits; or
2.Say at the start of the year she only “really” thought she would have $127 saved by year’s end, and claim “success” for ending up with $3 more than that and see if her teacher notices.
