President Obama’s sales pitch for his American Jobs Act omits the important detail that money devoted in the plan toward creating public-sector jobs lasts only one year. Carolina Journal Executive Editor Don Carrington highlighted that detail in the latest CJ cover story and documented the impact throughout the 50 states. Top conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh quoted Carrington’s work this week, and Lucianne.com and Watchdog.org publicized the article as well. IowaPolitics.com, the Wisconsin Reporter, the Nevada News Bureau, Carson (Nev.) Now, and MoronsInChapelHill.com are among the news and blogging outlets that have highlighted the work. State Policy Network organizations in Minnesota and Mississippi have confirmed that they have used Carrington’s material. CJ Managing Editor Rick Henderson discussed the issue with Bill LuMaye on WPTF Radio, and the N.C. News Network cited John Locke Foundation concerns about the Obama jobs plan in its radio reports.
