Those "saved" jobs...

You know there are going to be a lot of stories like this:

President Barack Obama's economic recovery program saved 935 jobs at the Southwest Georgia Community Action Council, an impressive success story for the stimulus plan. Trouble is, only 508 people work there.
The Wall Street Journal estimates that the number of jobs supposedly created by "stimulus" spending has been overstated by at least 20,000.

It is one of this administrations tactics to over inflate numbers to make people think things are better than they are.
