A Campbellsville shoe store’s boots case sparks scrutiny of Recovery Act job numbers. Critics say counting boots and similar purchases inflates reported created or saved jobs, noting GAO findings and the Obama administration’s figures, while analysts argue many so called jobs are short term or not truly created. The piece highlights counting methods, education spending dominance, and concerns over what qualifies as a saved job.

Pociask is president of the American Consumer Institute Center for Citizen Research.
