A non-existent district in Tennessee received nearly $41 million in stimulus funds and used that money to produce 0 jobs, according to recovery.gov. District 00 received all but $13 million that was sent to the seven phantom districts in the state, but produced fewer jobs than the non-existent 11th district, which created or saved 3 jobs using $39,000, according to the site.

The 29th District, also a phony, received the next largest sum of money, using nearly $10 million to create 20 jobs.

A Watchdog study revealed 440 non-existent congressional districts within the stimulus tracking web site, recovery.org. The full report can be found here and below:
