Politicians - Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm
I would think the media would have exposed this as it was happening.
I'm just so gullible...

Tom Gantert recently reported at MichiganCapitolConfidential.com:
"In a recent interview, outgoing Gov. Jennifer Granholm said she had no idea that the job creation announcements over the course of her two terms had been contradicted by studies finding that just over 70 percent of the bragged-about jobs were never created. James Hohman, fiscal policy analyst for the Mackinac Center, was stunned when he learned that Granholm told the Michigan Information and Research Service that she hadn’t heard of any evidence contradicting the rosy job scenarios she had been promoting through the embattled Michigan Economic Development Corporation.
MIRS alluded to these studies in a question to the governor last week, asserting that only one-third of the jobs were ever created and asking her whether it would have been better to have been more 'up front' with this statistic in her monthly press releases."
