Everyone makes mistakes. But not everyone makes a $8.9 billion mistake.

According to Wahsington Wire, the mistake was made on Obama’s Recovery.gov, the website that supposedly tracks how the stimulus money is being spent:

A “Reporting the Progress” chart showing the pace at which money has been flowing from the $787 billion plan seemed to indicate the total amount spent declined between the first and second weeks of this month.
What happened? The Department of Labor accidentally reported that $8.9 billion was paid out when it hadn’t been. The error was spotted and an “accounting adjustment” was made on May 21. Details on how the error happened or how it was found weren’t immediately available.
So, no, the government isn’t clawing back stimulus money. And while administration officials didn’t give any specifics on the likely pace of spending over the next 100 days, they did say they expect to see activity “ramp up.”

The whole thing here.
