Fantasy Job Creation?

The other day the Tennessean did ANOTHER story on "faux" Job Creation......

If there are jobs they'll be with a temp company and the benny's are NOT the best...

Was this a good bet?


MOST of the Mainstream Media did NOT pick up this story…..Why?

Someone affiliated with the Department of Energy has been going back to make changes to press releases posted on the Internet weeks and months ago, CNBC has found. The changes occurred in two press releases from the Department of Energy's loan guarantee program — the same program that has been the center of controversy surrounding the failed solar company Solyndra.

Oddly The Mainstream Media Has Done articles about the Job Creation of the NISSAN Leaf for over 2 years.. They keep writing articles about the “same” jobs” that supposedly are being created.  I was given information that shows the DOE has put the American taxpayer on a “ride”

Nissan Leaf Plant Groundbreaking

Electric Car Factory Brings Jobs to the Community 

On May 26, 2010, Nissan broke ground on their 1.3 million square foot lithium-ion battery plant in Smyrna, Tennessee, which will supply batteries for the Nissan LEAF electric car. The plant will produce 200,000 batteries per year.



Nissan is in the process of retooling an existing vehicle manufacturing plant to produce the LEAF electric car itself, located next to the lithium-ion battery plant now under construction. Both plants will create approximately 1,300 jobs once in full operation
